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

Personally, what's best for you to turn to when you've got the lockdown blues? We'll share the responses on a later post to potentially help others!
So many of us are feeling overwhelmed more than ever right now. Below is just one technique worth trying when you feel this way.
We thought it was time to share this again - if you are struggling or someone you know is, just talking to someone could help in a big way. See below for different organisations who could help:
