What we do...
"Choices" is a Citizen Advocacy project, this means that ordinary citizens volunteer to be trained with advocacy skills. Almost everybody needs an advocate at some point in their lives and some people are disadvantaged when it comes to speaking up for themselves. Citizen advocates help to redress this balance so that all adults can take part in shaping their own lives.
Choices Advocacy believes that everyone has the right to be heard, we value the views and aspirations of people.
