About Advocacy First
Each year, Advocacy First help people from all walks of life. The service is free and confidential; clients can feel entirely confident that no action or discussion will take place without their consent.
We work in partnership with other organisations where appropriate and beneficial. Sometimes we may have to make referrals to other organisations when advocacy is not the answer to a problem.
Meet our team of trustees today! Our team is highly experienced, friendly, and here to support you in leaving hospital.
