Advocacy Services
At the heart of Dyfed Community Advocacy & Guidance (DCAG) is the firm belief that everyone deserves to be heard, understood, and supported throughout whatever challenges they may face in their lives. We are deeply committed to ensuring that individuals feel valued, acknowledged, and empowered to navigate the difficulties they encounter.
We proudly offer independent, non-statutory advocacy services, coupled with clear and practical paid guidance, tailored to meet the needs of adults across Pembrokeshire. Our expertise spans a variety of areas, ensuring that we provide reliable and accessible support to those who may need it the most.
This includes:
- assistance with understanding rights, policies, or services and helping to break down complex information into something manageable and easy to grasp;
- support with completing forms, managing correspondence, or preparing thoroughly for upcoming appointments that may feel overwhelming or stressful;
- speaking on someone’s behalf—always with full consent—when it comes to communicating effectively with councils, housing teams, or benefit agencies, ensuring voices are heard and needs are met;
- researching both local and national resources extensively to identify the most appropriate support, tailored to each individual’s unique circumstances.
DCAG operates as a fully independent organization, completely separate from any statutory body, and is managed by a team of highly qualified and insured professionals who bring not only expertise but also valuable lived experience to their work. Our independence ensures that our service remains unbiased and entirely focused on the needs of the individuals we support.
We don’t aim to replace regulated or clinical services—rather, we exist to bridge the gap between individuals and the complex systems that are designed to offer assistance, ensuring no one is left feeling lost or excluded.
Our goal is simple yet powerful: to provide clear, calm advocacy paired with a compassionate, human approach that always prioritises the individual’s needs and well-being above all else.
