Margaret’s* story is a powerful reminder of what advocacy can achieve 💜

Living with dementia, Margaret had spent years in different care homes, feeling distressed and unable to enjoy the things that mattered most to her.

With the support of her Advocate, Margaret’s needs and wishes were brought to the attention of the Court of Protection, helping her move to a home where she could feel happy, settled, and more like herself again.

Advocacy helped restore Margaret’s dignity, identity, and quality of life.

*Name changed to protect privacy.

🪧 What if we took up more space with reminders like these?

Sometimes, knowing what we're entitled to can be the first step towards advocating for ourselves.

So, what if these reminders were part of our everyday lives? On billboards, bus stops, in schools, workplaces and community spaces.

What would you want to see reminded to you?
