Objectives

The organisation's purposes are: 4.1 To relieve poverty and promote equality and social justice by increasing the availability of and facilitating access to advocacy which is independent of any service provider, assistance and representation for the benefit of the citizens of West Dunbartonshire and Argyll and Bute. 4.2 To advance education and promote and encourage equality and social justice by increasing knowledge and awareness of advocacy and related matters in which there appears, in the opinion of the directors, to be insufficient public knowledge.
