South West Advocacy Network (SWAN) is a charity specialising in delivering independent advocacy. We have developed a model which ensures everyone, including the most vulnerable members of our communities, have the same rights and opportunities as their fellow citizens.

Our Pan Dorset Advocacy Service is independent, free at the point of delivery, confidential and non judgemental. Alongside our core service we will be co-producing and delivering Self Advocacy Workshops, empowering individuals who do not meet the criteria for statutory advocacy to develop self-advocacy skills.
