Our Hubs
Our legal rights hubs provide training, advice, casework and campaign work to empower people with health and social care needs to exercise their legal rights to access social care. They identify and bring together organisations, grassroot initiatives and residents to drive forward helpful local system change through raising awareness of common issues faced by people with lived experience.
“I had been asking the council for social care for one of my patients for over 6 months but got no reply. I used AccessAva to write a personalised letter using the right legal language, sent the letter to the council, and a social worker called me back on the same day to arrange an assessment! The family now have 12 hours of support each week and their wellbeing has dramatically improved. I highly recommend AccessAva.”
