Thanks for that reply. Our Age UK isn't active in my town

Where can I get an advocate?
The person who can act as your advocate can be:
- Someone from charities and organizations that offer independent advocacy and support services
- Someone from your network of family and friends
- Yourself acting on your behalf & stand up for yourself– Please see our factsheet F37 on Self-Advocacy
I have already checked locally and there are no places here that will help with avocacy
I have a telephone interview with Adult Social Care next week but I don't hold out much hope with a successful outcome as I am now unable to process info from telephone conversations and would need an advocate here for the phone call which is due
"some time in week commencing 26th August"
