Advocacy Services Near You
To find a member advocacy service working for older people in your chosen area please click on the map or choose from the list below.
This page contains contact information for all our members who provide services. Unfortunately there are simply more people wanting an advocate than there are advocacy schemes. Whilst we are committed to campaigning for more advocacy provision, we do not provide advocacy ourselves and are unable to get involved with individual cases.
Please note OPAAL cannot accept liability for any work carried out by the organisations listed. This is not a list of recommended schemes but a list of member advocacy organisations.
If you are an OPAAL member, please remember to check whether your service is on our advocacy map and if the details we have are correct. If you see that your organisation is not on our list or we need to make amendments to our information please contact us.
