Advocacy Western Isles

Advocacy is about helping you to speak up for yourself, to make sure that your views and opinions are heard and understood. If you find it hard, or you are unable to speak for yourself then you may find an ‘Advocate' who can help you. The Advocacy Western Isles has two branches – one located in Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis and the second in Balivanich on the Isle of Benbecula.
