What is CITIZEN ADVOCACY ?

Sometimes people with learning difficulties can find it hard to make new friends or to do as many things as they would like. A Citizen Advocate is a volunteer who can support the person to meet new people and go to places such as cinemas, night classes or groups in their local community. The person may prefer to stay at home and the Citizen Advocate visits for a cup of tea and a chat.

The Citizen Advocate will, over the years, get to know the person with a learning disability well and will support them to speak up for themselves. They may also be able to help with specific problems, like a formal advocate.
