Description

Social Justice is all about breaking down barriers that prevent people from being heard and from accessing what they need.

Anglican Care's Advocacy Group is two-fold: One-to-One Support and Empowering Workshops.

One-to-One Support:
Offering the support of a one-to-one advocate for appointments which you are too stressed to handle on your own and assisting you when you are facing barriers to accessing the services you need.

Empowering Workshops:
Encouraging people through learning new skills and giving you the opportunity to share with others who are going through similar issues. Ultimately, you will be able to self-advocate and help other people too.
