Citizen Advocacy is unlike any other disability advocacy service…
- It is based on forming long term, one to one relationships of support, not just fixing a problem
- Citizen advocates are INDEPENDENT.
- After talking with the protégé a citizen advocate will act in the best interests of the protégé
- Citizen advocates are not paid, reimbursed or compensated in any way
- We are a small program with limited capacity, covering the wider Auckland area – we can’t help everyone we would like to help
- Your enquiry does not guarantee your entry into the programme
- We do not keep a waiting list of people needing assistance
- We do not have advocates waiting to be matched
- We do not only rely on referrals to meet individuals who need support – we go out into the community and find the most vulnerable people ourselves
- It can take considerable time to find the right advocate for someone, often several months
- The only promise we can make is that we do our best to respond respectfully and helpfully to every enquiry we receive
