Its emphasis is on empowering people not solving their problems for them. This may include enabling individuals to write letters or make phone calls and/or representing their wishes or negotiating with an outside agency.

Supporting older people in their own homes through prearranged visits from trained volunteers and paid advocates.
Advocacy in Care Homes
Supporting older residents of care homes across Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan through an organised network of prearranged visits and residents meetings.
