Helping your voice be heard on the issues that matter to you
For over 30 years, we’ve supported people with learning disabilities and communication difficulties to make informed decisions and speak up for themselves.
How We Help
Vocal Advocacy empowers some of the most socially marginalised, powerless, and disadvantaged individuals to access the same range of life choices as everyone else. Working across South and West Devon, our team of independent advocates helps people with their housing, work, education, finance, health, and social care issues.
Advocacy Services

Supporting Parents
Specialist lay advocates who support parents to engage effectively with the child protection process.
Training
Access over 70 AQA accredited training courses that empower individuals with essential skills and knowledge.
