This is a free, independent and confidential service to help older people in hospital make their views and wishes known clearly. An advocate will listen to what you want, help you to obtain information and to understand it, help you make your own decisions and help you to speak up for yourself (or speak for you, if necessary).

The Service is jointly managed by Age Concern Essex and Voluntary Action Epping Forest. For details of the hospitals served, contact:
