Dennis Clarke
TrusteeFor in excess of 40 years I have been a lawyer helping many people with learning and/or mental health issues. I have focussed on legal aid cases and have many human rights issues under my belt. I was the founding partner of a firm of solicitors dedicated to legal aid work and continuing to assist people who needed someone to speak for them. When I found Advocacy Matters Wales I was sure that we had a synergy and I am very hopeful of adding something to the mix of dedicated Trustees that the Charity already benefits from.
