Dorset Advocacy began its work in June 1993 as a citizen advocacy scheme. The focus then was on creating long term one–to–one partnerships between people with learning disabilities and volunteers who got to know their ‘partner’ and then spoke up with and for them to make sure they got a fair deal in life. We continue to support people with learning disabilities but we have considerably widened our scope over the years to include other disadvantaged groups providing mainly issues–based services.
We are extremely proud of our experienced team of staff and volunteer advocates who have helped develop Dorset Advocacy from a tiny organisation supporting just a few dozen people, to an employer of 35 staff and 30 volunteers, which now helps around 4000 people every year.
After 5 successful years, our Chief Executive is to leave in the summer and we are looking for an outstanding and passionate individual who will lead Dorset Advocacy through its next chapter.
