For many disabled and vulnerable people, being heard isn’t easy. Conversations about mental health, care, housing or safety can feel overwhelming - especially when systems are complex and stressful.

At Oswestry-based Shropshire PCAS, our advocates take the time to listen. We help people talk through their concerns, understand their options and feel confident expressing their wishes when it matters most.

Today on Mind Time to Talk Day, is a reminder that talking can change lives - especially when someone is there to listen, support and stand alongside you.

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. ... See MoreSee Less

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.
