Coming Soon: Advocacy Support

We are a small, independent volunteer-led grassroots organisation providing opportunities for children (ASN). We are currently developing a new service and will update when available.

1. Do multi-agency meetings feel overwhelming or intimidating?
2. Do you struggle to have your voice heard when professionals are in the room?
3. Do you need support to clearly articulate your child’s needs, rights and experiences?

We work collaboratively with professionals across services to support shared understanding and aim to ensure families’ perspectives are fully considered.
