Hi I’m Lowri and I coordinate Second Voice Advocacy Service. My job is to ensure young people have the right advocate and to make sure that their voices are heard. In my role I have advocated for many young people and it is rewarding when they have their wishes and feelings heard and achieve a positive outcome. It is also pleasing that they have time to build their confidence and their skills enough to voice their feelings and wishes themselves.
Hi I’m Amy, what I really love about being an advocate is supporting young people to have a real say in the decisions that affect them in their lives – especially when they really do influence that decision and they achieve the outcome they want.
Hi, I’m Paula and I have been an advocate with Second Voice for a number of years; ensuring young people have their voices heard. Without Second Voice many vulnerable young peoples wishes and feelings would be lost.
Hi I’m Katie, I am based in the INFO Shop and work alongside other advocates. Referrals are made by person or phone. We have regular meetings which include speakers from various organisations on topics relevant to the needs of young people. We also have regular supervision. It’s rewarding when you see young people gaining confidence and able to self advocate.
