0Celebrating 35 Years of Advocacy – Help Us Keep Going!
For 35 years, we have been the UK’s oldest independent advocacy charity, standing up for the rights of society’s most vulnerable. We empower individuals to express their needs, understand their rights, and access vital services—especially when they feel unheard or overlooked.
As a user-led charity, we are run by people who have experienced the very struggles we support others through. We understand what it’s like to feel powerless, unheard, and let down by the system. That’s why we fight every day to ensure no one has to face these challenges alone.
We have helped thousands of people across Bradford and the surrounding districts over the years to have a voice, ensuring they get the support they need. Our work is preventative, helping people navigate the system before their situation escalates, preventing mental health relapse and decline.
But right now, demand for our services is higher than ever, while funding cuts have made us smaller than ever.
The Crisis We’re Facing
The lasting effects of the pandemic and the rising cost of living have triggered a surge in mental health referrals. At the same time, delays in the healthcare system are leaving people with prolonged distress as they wait for vital support.
Yet, despite demand increasing, funding cuts have blighted the sector and forced us to reduce our size, staff, and resources. We are being asked to do more with less, and over time this is simply unsustainable.
Why We Need Your Support
As we celebrate our 35th anniversary, we recognise that our work is only possible with your help.
Your donation will allow us to:
🔹 Provide support so no one has to face their struggles alone
Empower individuals to speak up and be heard
Advocate for those who feel overlooked or ignored
Prevent mental health crises by ensuring timely and appropriate support
Hold services accountable and drive meaningful change
We cannot do this alone. With your support, we can keep fighting for fairness, dignity, and justice for those who need it most.
Please donate today and help us continue this life-changing work.
