Karen Rees
Independent Proffesional Advocate
Hello! My name is Karen. I'm PFB's Independent Professional Advocate (IPA).
I make sure people are included in decisions about their care and support. I make sure people can understand and are understood by others.
I help people to speak-up, and if they can't, I speak-up on their behalf.
I can advocate for people in lots of situations. This can be issues with their health and social care, or other issues where they need help to have a voice.

Paul Gingell
Advocacy Coordinator
Hello! My name is Paul and I'm PFB's Advocacy Coordinator.
I make sure people know about PFB, what we do, and how to be part of our self-advocacy group.
I coordinate and facilitate our self-advocacy group and support members in local and regional development work. I support all self-advocacy activities across the organisation.
I look for important topics and bring guest speakers to our self-advocacy group. This is to make sure our members are well informed and have their voice heard in issues that matter to them.
I do lots of behind-the-scenes work to make sure our groups are run well, like doing Easy Read, arranging visits, and working in partnership with lots of other organisations
