Advocacy Services are changing in Nottingham City and Nottinghamshire
The new  City and County wide access to  advocacy service, Your Voice, Your Choice, started on 1st April 2012. This replaces all advocacy services that have supported adults with a Physical and Sensory Impairment, a Learning Disability, a Mental Health problem, older people and people with dementia.

Your Voice, Your Choice is delivered in partnership by POhWER and Age UK Notts. There is single contact number for all advocacy services. People who contact the service will be assessed holistically to understand their needs and issues, and given  appropriate and accessible information, advice and advocacy to help them resolve their issues.
The service will also provide  referrals for people with complex issues and needs, providing issue based advocacy support to a wide range of service users.

Statutory advocacy services will also be available from the service, together with information about the services for  professionals.

All services can be contacted by phone on 0300 020 0093 or by e-mail at yourvoiceyourchoice@pohwer.net

Please also see www.pohwer.net for information.

Please see the attached leaflet kindly produced by Jim Broughton-Nottingham City Accessible Information Coordinator at Mencap.
