Giving you a VOICE
Supporting you to access your RIGHTS
Being be part of your COMMUNITY
We are an independent, community based advocacy organisation that has been providing advocacy in Basingstoke since the mid 1990s.
In April 2014 we expanded to cover Andover & Test Valley and Winchester & District areas of Hampshire. In December 2015 we began working in Hart & Rushmoor.
We are a User Led Organisation as all of our Trustees have experience of services directly or as family carers.
