Welcome to Stockport Advocacy
We are a Community Benefit Society that provides information and advocacy services across Stockport Metropolitan Borough. We offer direct and local support via professionals and volunteers.
Advocacy means enabling your voice to be heard, speaking for you when you can’t and supporting you when you can. Advocacy is about supporting, enabling, empowering you to express your views and concerns, and access information and services where needed.
Unfortunately, we are unable to provide support for benefit enquiries/appeals/completion of forms, or employment tribunals however; we will always try to signpost you to an appropriate service

This Saturday is World Mental Health Day, although for many, this is every day. Try to find the simple things that make you happy, try and find some time out of your day to stop and take 5 minutes just to focus on your senses, and most importantly, be kind to yourself.
