Welcome to Advocacy West Lancs

Give me a voiceAdvocacy West Lancs is a registered charity which provides advocacy partnerships in West Lancashire.

Advocacy West Lancs was established in 1994 to represent and support any member of our community who experience difficulties in getting their message across. We help to make sure their voice is heard when they need to communicate with health care, social services or other statutory services.

We are the only independent advocacy organisation in West Lancashire. Our services are free, confidential and independent.

Advocacy gives people a voice.

  • There are changes in your life
  • Your rights are being taken away
  • You can't speak up for yourself

Advocacy gives you a voice.
