What we do
Advocacy Matters (Wales) employs Casework Advocates. They are paid to provide advocacy support for people with learning disability in Cardiff, Vale of Glamorgan, Bridgend and Rhondda Cynon Taf, on issues that are important to the person.
We also provide a specialised advocacy service for people with Asperger syndrome in Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan.
Our Citizen Advocacy Co-ordinator also recruits Citizen Advocates. They are volunteers who are not paid. They are introduced to a person with a learning disability, and are there to help the person to speak up for themselves in any situation. This service is also available in Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan.

We also employ Taking Part Workers. Their job is to help people to have a say about the services they receive.
Advocacy Matters (Wales) has a Service User Group. This is a group of people who have used our services and who now meet regularly to help the organisation improve and discuss ideas for how the organisation can develop.
