Working With Libra Partnership
We work collaboratively with Local Authorities, Social care providers and Community organisations to deliver advocacy and training across England and Wales.
Our advocates support people to understand their rights, express their views, and participate in decisions about their care, health, and wellbeing.
“We have been working with Libra Partnership for a number of years, and it truly has been a partnership. They are a very person centred service, with very high standards that are reflected in the contents of their reports.”
