We're calling on our supporters to help us fund an advocacy service across South Wales, to ensure people with mental health illness that do not meet the statutory eligibility criteria can still have access to an advocate. ASC currently provides Independent Mental Health Advocacy, Independent Mental Capacity Advocacy and Community Mental Health Advocacy across health boards in South Wales. However, the advocacy service we provide has strict eligibility criteria set by the Welsh Government. Our funding only allows us to provide independent advocacy for those individuals who meet the criteria. The Stepping Stones service aims to expand our current Community Advocacy services to ensure that we can provide independent advocacy to even more people who need our help, to empower them to fight for their rights and speak out.
