Advocacy North-East
We provide a generic advocacy service for people aged 16 years and over

who are feeling isolated or vulnerable and may be experiencing difficulty in making their needs known. Advocates assist people to obtain information needed to permit them to make an informed choice and decide their own course of action. They help clients to put their views across, to enable them to achieve a greater level of personal independence and control over their

own lives.

The Stigma.org.uk website is produced and edited by Andrew Brown, Andrea Pereira and John Crook, who comprise an informal group. We have developed this website to tackle head on the issue of how stigma affects the majority of people who have physical, mental and social difficulties. We are also in the situation of having to defend ourselves against injurious comments from others and also feelings of inadequacy brought about by media generated opinions regarding such things as mental and physical health issues and including social causes of stigma. We are convinced that our website is going to be successful and we are adding information regularly that we hope will help others to learn about stigma, educate others and thereby change the future for themselves and also other people affected by stigma in any way.: www.stigma.org.uk which runs through the Stigma.org.uk portal where you can register your interest and post your own comments.
