We’re supporting Advocacy Awareness Week 2024!

Published 14th October 2024, in News

Advocacy Week 2024 runs from Monday 14 – Friday 18 October and is a chance for us to join with other organisations across the UK raising awareness of advocacy and the impact it has.

Here at Living Options Devon we form part of the Devon Advocacy Consortium.

Working alongside our partners at Rethink Advocacy, Vocal Advocacy and Young Devon we support people to have their voice heard; providing independent, professional advocacy for people across Devon and Torbay.

Between 2023 and 2024 over 1,800 people were provided with independent professional advocacy in partnership with the Devon Advocacy Consortium.
