Your Voice. Your Rights. Our Support.

At AdvoCard, we provide Independent Advocacy to help our advocacy partners speak up, make informed choices, and stay in control of decisions about their own life.

Our advocacy workers use a Human Rights Based Approach. That means we’ll provide clear, accessible information about people's rights and the options available to them — and support them to make their own choices. We’re not here to tell people what to do or make decisions on their behalf. We’re here to stand beside them and make sure their voice is heard.

In Edinburgh we provide independent advocacy to people who have a mental health condition and/or substance use issues.

Across Scotland our Family Advocacy Service provides independent advocacy for families bereaved by a death in prison custody in Scotland.

AdvoCard is a member of the Scottish Independent Advocacy Alliance, and we deliver advocacy in accordance with the Independent Advocacy Principles, Standards and Code of Best Practice.

## About SCVO

SCVO (Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations) is the national membership organisation for Scotland's voluntary sector.

Our role is to champion the role of voluntary organisations in Scotland and to support them to do work that has a positive impact.

SCVO supports members and the wider voluntary sector with all aspects of setting up and running a voluntary organisation. SCVO represents the needs and concerns of the voluntary sector to the Scottish government in Holyrood and UK government and Westminster. Through our learning and events programme SCVO offers training and development opportunities to the sector.

Members access an extensive membership benefits package including specialist, in-depth, 1-to-1 guidance from our Information Services team and from professional service partners.

Access to exclusive membership networks (including comms, employers, governance and policy) supports members to grow their connections, stay up to date, exchange ideas and views with peers, and learn through tailored learning opportunities.

SCVO members enjoy free access to Funding Scotland Premium to stay on top of funding opportunities to support their organisation’s financial resilience.

Discounts and savings on SCVO products and services (including our HR service, managed IT support, payroll service and events and training) and partner offers provide members with support to allow them to focus on delivering their organisation’s goals. Further SCVO products and services include [extensive digital support](https://scvo.scot/support/digital), a climate action resource [Growing Climate Confidence](https://climateconfident.scot), a voluntary sector publication [Third Force News](https://tfn.scot) and a voluntary sector jobs and recruitment service [Goodmoves](https://goodmoves.org).
