We provide a range of independent advocacy services for people experiencing mental distress including dementia. We work with people living in any area or setting within Leeds, including their own home, residential or nursing care, hostel or hospital. They can support people to speak up for themselves about any issue that is important to them. When the person does not have the capacity to instruct their advocate (e.g. some people with dementia), we can still help to include the person’s views and wishes in decisions about their lives through non-instructed advocacy. Advonet also provide the Independent Mental Health Advocacy (IMHA) service under the Mental Health Act. Advonet was formerly a consortium made up of Advocacy for Mental Health & Dementia, Advocacy Support and Leeds Advocacy. In 2014 the Boards of these organisations decided to merge and become a single organisation from April 2015.
