Advocacy ensures vulnerable people receive the vital benefits and access to services they are entitled to; that they find somewhere safe to live; and that they can access their community, preventing social isolation. We work with people with learning difficulties, people with an acquired brain injury, people with a physical disability or sensory impairment, and people on the autistic spectrum.
Throughout the time the coronavirus is limiting our activity, we are supporting as many people as we can through a telephone and video link service.

Impact’s one-to-one Advocacy service stops people’s lives going into crisis and gives people the power to take control. Our advocates support people with their desire to be heard when no one else is listening.
Impact Advocacy also supports Self-Advocacy groups for people with learning disabilities and autism. These groups are independent and work together to support one another; they campaign for their rights, raise awareness and produce reports for local authorities to ensure their services work for people with disabilities.
