What does a Shropshire PCAS advocate do?
Well our deputy manager and independent advocate, Glenda, enjoys nothing more than helping someone get their paperwork in order, whilst ensuring they know what action they need to take, who to contact and most importantly how.
Here's Glenda at her regular advocacy session with a client in Shrewsbury. They always start with a brew and a check in before...
✅ Opening the post.
✅ Checking on any upcoming appointments, how he will get there and what the appointment is for.
✅ Dealing with any issues or concerns he may have from any of the correspondence.
For many, tasks like these may seem like simple, daily, run of the mill jobs but for our clients, who are vulnerable or disabled and often without a family or network of support, they can leave them anxious and often result in missed appointments, including idelays in vital healthcare treatment.
If you could support Shropshire PCAS, based in Oswestry but covering the whole of the county, then please do get in touch.
Loneliness doesn’t always look like being alone - it’s about feeling unheard, unseen or forgotten.
For many of our clients across our towns and villages in Shropshire, an advocate is the only person they see in a week. That visit, that phone call, that small act of care can be the difference between despair and hope.

Our charity manager Simon Arthur was presented with an award for his work and dedication to our charity at the High Sheriff of Shropshire Awards 2025/26 last night.
Simon was given the award to celebrate "Thirty years of Advocacy Leadership for Adults with Disabilities" and we know how much that means to him.
On behalf of our team of staff and volunteers and all of our clients Simon, thank you for your dedication and support for those disabled and vulnerable people across our Shropshire communities who so desperately need our support.
Thank you all it was such a shock for me, firstly to be nominated by Jackie Copson then to be awarded this. Thank you everyone involved with the work of PCAS over the last 30+ years. It is amazing just how many lives we have changed during that time.
Huge congrats to Simon for his dedication and hard work for PCAS clients across Shropshire 🙌❤️

When life feels overwhelming and the system feels impossible to navigate, Shropshire PCAS is there.
We’re completely independent, free to access and person-led which means we work for you, not for any organisation or agency.
Our advocates support people who:
✅ Have physical or mental health challenges
✅ Are facing housing or social care issues
✅ Have no one else to speak for them
We’ve helped over 10,800 people across Shropshire since we began and with your support, we can reach thousands more.
No waiting on hold. No judgement. Just someone by your side, helping you move forward.
