Disability Sheffield offers a free, confidential and independent advocacy service for disabled people living in Sheffield. If you are having trouble getting the health or social care services that you need, we may be able to help you.

We are part of the Sheffield Advocacy Hub. 

Here are examples of issues we can help you with:

• Getting your voice heard by the healthcare and social care practitioners working with you
• Supporting you by providing information and advocacy support on a range of issues that affect your ability to live your own life
• Speaking on your behalf if you want us to
• Letter writing, complaints procedures, preparing for and attending meetings, reviews and assessments
• Talking in confidence to someone who is independent of the NHS and social services
• Protecting your rights and getting the right support and advice from other service providers if necessary
• Helping you get the services you need and helping services offer a more flexible and individual approach to meet your needs
• Supporting you if you want to make major changes , for example moving out of institutional care or the family home
• If you are assessed as not being eligible for care services looking at what other options are available for you

We cannot solve problems ourselves but we can support you in getting your voice heard where there are barriers to this. We will give information and support so you can make your own informed choices about the issue. We support adults who live in Sheffield with health and social care related issues.

We accept self-referrals, or referrals from family/friends directly.
