"I would have been evicted.”
Housing insecurity can escalate quickly - but with the right support, outcomes can be changed. At Shropshire PCAS, we support people to understand their rights, challenge decisions and navigate difficult conversations with landlords and services when their home is at risk.
This quote shows the impact of our advocacy in action - helping people stay in their homes, maintain their stability and avoid crisis situations that can have life-changing consequences.
What does Shropshire PCAS do and why?
We know living with disability brings challenges, and at times, you might need some help.
You may need help to make a difficult phone call, need someone who can write a letter, or someone to attend and support you at a challenging meeting. This is the role of an advocate.
In many cases, the advocate is a friend or family member, for others, it may be a nurse or social worker. But if you don’t have anyone to help you, this is where local, independent person centred advocacy can help.
An advocate will support you to speak up for yourself as they are there JUST for you, and have no ties to other agencies or people in your life. An advocate helps you to get the information you need, to understand your options and to support you in putting your choices to others.
The team at Shropshire PCAS are here to help any adult (18 or over) who is struggling with physical disability, mental health issues, hearing or sight constraints or with learning difficulties.
BUT sadly our funds are low and we have been forced to put a hold on new clients - perhaps you could help us change that and raise money for us, make a donation or volunteer for us? This would allow us to support more clients from our waiting list.

Child Protection processes can feel overwhelming, confusing and emotionally draining.
No one should have to face them alone. Our advocates work alongside people to make sure they are informed, supported and able to fully understand what is happening at every stage.
We are proud to stand beside people when they need it most.
For over 30 years, Shropshire PCAS has supported more than 11,000 people across our county. It is 11,000 reasons why our work must continue.
Behind that number are real people facing safeguarding concerns, housing uncertainty, mental health challenges, complex social care systems and moments of crisis.
Many are living with multiple disabilities.
Many are navigating more than a dozen separate issues at once.
Your support helps keep our advocacy free, independent and accessible to those who need it most.
