Circles Advocacy Fife delivers a free, independent service by providing information and advocacy via telephone, email or video call, drop-in meetings within community resources and home visits to individuals who are unable to access our main office in Fife or suitable public settings.
Established in 2009, we have a track record in providing generic advocacy. Currently we are now focused on delivering two key projects.
Recovery services – providing a voice to those who are experiencing drug and alcohol issues, so they feel heard and involved in the treatment and support services offered to them. We also signpost them to other services that they could utilised. Often our advocates have lived experience of the challenges so they can understand, relate and therefore provide a multi-layered approach to the advocacy experience.
Support for unpaid carers – providing education and support on how to navigate life if the loved ones they care for unexpectedly lose capacity and therefore lock them out of accessing their support and communicating on their behalf. We do this by providing connections that can assist with financial and welfare power of attorney and/or guidance on how to go about the process of gaining guardianship.
We support anyone over the age of 16 who lives in Fife and is experiencing one or more of the following.
To have a say in, and about, the services they receive.
We are inclusive in our approach and support people from all backgrounds, who are subject to compulsory measures under the Mental Health Act 2003 for Care & Treatment in Scotland, carers, parents, people in refuge, prisoners receiving health care and people who are homeless or experiencing issues related to alcohol or drug dependency.
