Empowering Voices, Transforming Lives
Services for Empowerment and Advocacy are an independent advocacy and participation service working across Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Lincolnshire enabling people to speak up and make decisions about their housing, health and care services.
Our services are independent and confidential and our advocates support people with lived experience to have a say on the issues that matter to them.
Our Mission
Diverse Experiences
Recognising and respecting peoples experiences allows for a more comprehensive understanding of their issues and challenges they face while using services.
Inclusivity
Listening to individuals helps ensure that all voices are heard, including those from marginalised or underrepresented groups. Promoting a more inclusive and equitable approach to change through advocacy.
Tailored Solutions
Understanding and valuing the individuality of each person allows for the development of solutions that match to their specific needs, making the changes more effective and relevant.
Respect
Acknowledging individuality demonstrates respect for each person's autonomy, dignity, and worth. It fosters a culture of appreciation for diversity & experience.
Our Services
Advocacy
Advocacy is taking action to help people say what they want, secure their rights, represent their interests and obtain the services that they need.
User Involvement &
Co-production
Meaningful participation ensures that service users are provided with an opportunity to have a voice that can lead to real, sustainable change.
Rough Sleeper Initiative
RSI is a collaboration between service providers to assist in the prevention, intervention and recovery of homelessness.
Get Involved
Our volunteers tell us how much they enjoy being involved with the charity and make a real difference to people’s lives and careers.
Volunteering can offer you a fantastic opportunity to meet new friends, gain skills and experience, improve your health and wellbeing and importantly share your lived experience and make a difference. We believe the people we work with who bring their lived experience play a vital role in providing feedback, information, suggestions and sharing their experience with us. In order that we maximise this mutual relationship and so that our volunteers feel fully supported in their roles, we have a range of learning and support materials to help.
