Natalie is friendly and resourceful. She loves rock music and walking in nature. She enjoys a cup of coffee, a cigarette and a chat. However, she has no family, limited opportunities to make decisions about her own life and few connections in the local community. She has a life-long advocate who lives interstate and is unable to visit regularly.

She is hoping to connect with locals with similar interests who are keen to get to know her and visit every couple of weeks.

They don't require any specific experience and will be able to access training and support from our office. Having another person in her life who will take the time build a relationship and support her rights and needs would make an enormous difference.

Side By Side Advocacy is a not-for-profit advocacy organisation based in Parramatta. We are dedicated to promoting and protecting the rights and interests of people with intellectual disability.
