Realife Advocacy offers independent advocacy support to individuals and families to enable them to feel more in control of their lives.
We offer formal advocacy (normally short term support to get through a particularly difficult period); citizen advocacy (a long term partnership between the advocate and the person wanting support) and help to develop self-advocacy skills. Anyone is free to call us for an informal chat and to arrange a visit at home or to our offices to see if we can work together to support you.
Realife Advocacy designs and delivers a range of training courses including the five day ‘Root and Branch’ programme.
From September 2002 to April 2006, we helped to set up the Essex People’s Parliament for people with a learning disability and are now working on the Herts Forum for people with a learning difficulty based in East Herts. The forum is supported each year as a major project led by our social work student unit.
