Mind in the City, Hackney and Waltham Forest is working in partnership with specialist community organisations to provide advocacy to Hackney residents, over the age of 18 years, living in the community. 

Advocates in the network can provide Hackney residents with information about:

1. Accessing and engaging with services in Hackney

2. Rights and how to exercise rights

3. Complaints procedure

4. Getting legal support

Advocacy means taking action to help people say what they want, secure their rights, represent their interests and get the services they need.

The network is made up of advocates from City and Hackney Mind, Age UK East London, Carers Centre, North London Muslim Community Centre, Choice, Chizuk, Jewish Care/Jewish Alliance for the Mentally Ill, Vietnamese Mental Health Service, Mencap, Positive East.
