Free Public Advocacy Service is here to help you use your voice
This service was created to provide support for people who are struggling to access services they need to connect with, this includes going with you to appointments, talking on the phone to agencies, and meeting with you 1 to 1 for guidance and advice.
We endeavour to meet you in a place near where you live so it’s not too difficult to get the support you need.
This is a FREE service that ANYONE can access – email or call us.
Advocates are currently available every week at the following locations, days and times:
- Tuesday – Greerton Library – 1-2:30pm
- Thursday – Welcome Bay Community Centre – 1-2:30pm
- Friday – Ōtūmoetai Social Supermarket – 10-11:30am
- Friday – Pāpāmoa Library – 1-2:30pm
Appointments can also be made at other times and on other days of the week by phoning 022 562 9845.
As we gain more volunteers we will set up more clinics in Tauranga and the WBOP

“To be an activist is to speak. To be an advocate is to listen. Society can’t move forward without both.”
