Welcome........
Citizen
Advocacy…
is an unusual name. When we talk about it, we
often find ourselves saying what it isn’t. It
isn’t part of the government bureaucracy. It isn’t
a church or political group, and it isn’t a complaints
service..........
Citizen
Advocacy…
facilitates the
establishment of advocacy relationships between
a person with a
disability (protégé)
- who is vulnerable
- who has significant unmet
needs
and
a citizen
- who is competent,
principled and resourceful
- who makes a
commitment to become involved in a relationship to the
person with disability in order to meet some of that
person's needs as if they were their own
- who is prepared to
work in an unpaid capacity
Is there a role for you?
Community support and
involvement is important and your support is more than welcome. Just
