Norfolk Advocacy
◾Our general advocacy service provides support for people over 50 who are most vulnerable or in vulnerable situations to make informed decisions affecting their lives. We ensure that you have a voice that other people listen to, and that you do not experience any inequality or discrimination.
◾Our Money Matters service assists over 65s with the day to day management of household finances and paperwork.
◾Our bereavement advocacy service provides support to people over 50 who are recently bereaved. Our service offers practical help and support to a person in later life who has no family or friends who are able to assist them. This may include support such as identifying who to notify, any bereavement benefit entitlements and ‘check in’ phone calls.
NHS Complaints
We also support you if you are over 60 and making, or thinking of making, a complaint about NHS services or treatment. This service is completely independent of the NHS.
Our Information and Advice service is free. We welcome the support of volunteers and donations to help us continue running this free service.
