Current opportunity
Citizen Advocates have a unique opportunity to engage with a vulnerable adult in their community needing reliable, independent, help and support.
CitizInclude Me recruits, trains, matches and supports local volunteers to become Citizen Advocates for adults aged 16-65 living in North East Fife who are vulnerable, isolated and at risk of being excluded from their communities.
Citizen Advocates can support their Advocacy Partners by:
-Helping them make informed choices
-Helping them access services they are entitled to
-Assisting them to voice their opinions and wishes
-Helping them connect with their local community
-Spending time with them doing things they both enjoy
Advocacy partnerships are self-determining meaning the Advocate and Partner decide how to develop the relationship and achieve any mutually agreed goals and outcomes.
This is a flexible opportunity as the Citizen Advocate and Advocacy Partner decide together on a mutually suitable time, day, frequency and place of meetingen Advocates help people to voice their views, make informed decisions and become less isolated.
