Community Advocacy

VoiceAbility provide community advocacy support all around Cambridgeshire. Our professional advocates work to support adults with disabilities living in Cambridgeshire, between the ages of 18 and 65 who may be facing a difficult time.

We work with people who have a learning disability, a physical disability or a sensory impairment.

To be eligible for community advocacy, the person must be known to adult disability services, and the person must live in and be funded by Cambridgeshire. The service supports adults to have a voice in creating positive changes in their life.

“Having someone to listen is like having the light at the end of the tunnel”.
- One of our Community clients

The independent and free service is issue-specific and time-limited and operates in an empowering framework. This means that we can help support our clients with one issue that they are facing, but when that issue has been resolved, we would close their case. If they wanted us to support them with another issue, we would need to open up another case. Because of the number of people using our services, there might be a small delay before we could then work with the same person again.

Our advocates can provide support with issues such as housing, care, health and complaints as well as general queries on rights and support options.
