In May the Cowal and Bute Advocacy team took part in a multi-organisation Awareness Raising event, targeted towards NHS and Argyll & Bute Council staff. The event was held at Dunoon General Hospital and was well attended by nursing, medical and social services staff, who seemed to appreciate the opportunity to find out about the services offered by the Third Sector at a ‘one-stop’ event. Such was the level of interest in advocacy that the Argyll Team plan to take part in a similar event, planned for later in the year for the Mid Argyll area.
