Advocacy Services
Your Story Well Told, Your Cause Well Represented
Our vocation is to help you to be heard by those whose opinions matter and whose decisions impact on you.
It was Mark Twain who said “I like a good story well told. That is the reason I am sometimes forced to tell them myself.” We all love a good story, but often organisations do not have the time to tell theirs properly. Your story is important, as it explains to others why you exist and what you want to achieve. Often its hard to tell your own story without sounding boastful about your achievements or negative about your needs. Often audiences or opinion formers don’t trust your own version of events, and that is why independent advocates are needed. We will speak for you and support your cause.
From lawyers to lobbyists from consultants to copywriters we have the skills on hand to tell your story well. We will look from the outside in, as well as talking to those who know you best and of course listening intently to what you have to say about yourself. That way a complete story can be told, one which is based on fact, insight and knowledge. That story will be crafted to appeal specifically to your audience and will inform, include and inspire them to act.
Your story may be about your charity or community and what they hope to achieve. It may be about your cause or campaign and why it should be supported. It may be a case for funding or a plea to change policy and practice. Or it may be about your culture and heritage as you seek to share it with others. Whatever your story may be we are here to help you tell it well.

That allows us to design bespoke solutions and design unique services. Over the years however we have observed that many clients’ problems or needs are similar and when we have crafted a solution that evolves over time becoming tried and tested we keep it in our knowledge bank ready to refine just for you.
