Stockport Advocacy

We are an independent, not-for-profit organisation set up to provide advocacy support for adults over 16 with learning difficulties / disabilities who live within the Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council area.

Advocacy is about

* Making choices
* Speaking up
* Helping adults (16+) with learning difficulties / disabilities to get their voices and opinions heard

Your Advocate can

* Help you find information
* Support you at meetings
* Give you time to think about your choices
* Help you say what you want

Your Advocate cannot

* Make decisions for you
* Work with you all of the time

Your Advocate is NOT the same as

* A friend or family member
* A lawyer or solicitor
* Other people who may work with you like Social Workers
