Our Impact

POhWER's impact goes beyond supporting our clients to resolve their issues.

Our services to local authorities ensure that the most vulnerable people's views are at the heart of decisions made about them. Advocates ensure that their clients’ wishes and feelings are central to decisions and plans for their future.
