Advocates help you to feel less alone, they provide a voice for you when you feel like yours is not being listened to and they use their extensive professional experience to ensure that you and your child get what you need and are legally entitled to.
Our advocacy support is bespoke and tailored specifically to your needs. Advocates have different specialisms and we’ll ensure that you are working with the person who understands your specific circumstances the best.

Here at Sunshine Support, we are well-known for our Cuppa&Chat sessions. These are two-hour meet ups either online or at our venues in Derby or Wales where SEND parents can come together to share the week’s wins and struggles in a safe, supportive space.
Led by Emma and her team of experts, Cuppa&Chat is the ideal place to come along to and realise that you are not alone. There is a whole host of people out there who get what you are going through.
You’ll find all the details of all our Cuppa&Chat events here.
Finally, Sunshine Support has a thriving online community through our social media channels and we would love for you to join us. Each day we share content which resonates with our community as they hear of other people struggling with the same challenges, they are posted to resources and reminded of support that’s available.
