Advocacy for Croydon

Mind’s Services

Advocacy for Croydon, a partnership between Advocacy for All (AfA) and Mind in Croydon, went live on the 1st May 2018. Mind in Croydon will continue to provide the mental health advocacy services in Croydon as they have for many years, but the partnership with Advocacy for All means that there will be a single point of contact for advocacy in the Borough. They look forward to working with Croydon Council and Advocacy for All on this exciting new development. You can find out more information from www.advocacyforcroydon.org.

Advocacy for Croydon is made up of 2 organisations that specialise in a variety of advocacy services for the London Borough of Croydon. They are independent from the NHS and the Local Authority.
