About POhWER

POhWER is a charity and membership organisation. We provide information, advice, support and advocacy to people who experience disability, vulnerability, distress and social exclusion.

Our services are designed by service users for service users. Last year we provided direct advocacy to over 16,000 people and handled 120,000 contacts for information and advice. Over 35,000 self help materials were downloaded from our website.

POhWER is one of the largest providers of advocacy services in the UK and England's largest provider of NHS Complaints Advocacy.

All comments, compliments and complaints are valuable to us. They help us know when we are getting things right (last year 90% of what you said was very positive) and where we need to improve when we are getting things wrong. Click here to have your say about POhWER and the services we deliver.
