Vulnerable People's Advocacy Service Stakeholders Event
Rich on September 1st, 2011
Integritas Advocacy CIC and The Cabinet Office will be holding the Vulnerable Peoples Panel Advocacy Service Stakeholders Event on the 19th of October 2011. The purpose of this event is to profile this innovative model of grass-roots advocacy support with adults and carers at risk.
Integritas Advocacy CIC was chosen as one of ten Cabinet Office Lab Areas in their programme to resolve multiple dis-advantages. We want to take this opportunity to tell you about our work, how it fits into government policy objectives; hear personal stories from some of our beneficiaries; information from our partners and present research about the cost benefit analysis of this early form of intervention.
There will be presentations from:
- The Cabinet Office,
- Nottinghamshire Healthcare Trust,
- Nottinghamshire Police,
- Beneficiaries of our service and Integritas Advocacy CIC.
This event will be held between 12 and 2.30pm at Arrow Centre, Annesley Road, Hucknall, Nottinghamshire, NG15 8AY. Light refreshments will be provided. On site parking available.
If you are interested in attending; please reserve your place by contacting us via email: info@integritasadvocacycic.co.uk or by phone: 0115 934 84 11.
Cabinet Office Lab site
Victoria on March 18th, 2011
We are delighted to have been chosen from over a hundred applicants to become one of ten Lab areas for the Cabinet Office, as part of their Resolving Multiple Disadvantages program. Our advocacy work with the Vulnerable Person's Panels will be monitored and evaluated by our partners. We will explore how to achieve the best outcomes for adults with problems such as mental health and housing issues.
Department of Health Funding

We have secured Department of Health funding to provide an advocacy service to carers through our Vulnerable Person's Panel advocacy service for one year. This is a very exciting development that will enable us to provide appropriate support to carers.
Staff changes
Victoria on October 7th, 2010
We have seen several staff changes in recent months. Victoria Gondzic has replaced our long serving administrator, Wendi Little, who is now pursuing a career in nursing. We have also taken advantage of the Future Jobs Fund to employ Sue Carnill as an advocate and Rich Branson as an administrative assistant. As a result of these changes we have been able to extend our office hours and are now open Monday to Friday, from 9:30am till 4:00pm.
