Advocacy support

Need help?

Having someone to speak up with you or on your behalf can make a big difference when you’re dealing with services, making decisions, or trying to have your voice heard.

Advocacy support across RCT can help you understand your options, express your views, and feel more confident when dealing with health, social care, housing or other services. Advocacy is about being listened to, respected, and supported to make choices that are right for you.

If you need urgent support with advocacy:

MEIC (children & young people) – 0808 802 3456

Interlink RCT Wellbeing Support – self‑refer online or contact their wellbeing team
