About us

Gateshead Advocacy Information Network (GAIN) is a project of Gateshead Voluntary Organisations Council (GVOC). We support advocacy projects in the Borough of Gateshead in Tyne and Wear.

Our vision is to make sure every citizen in Gateshead has access to an independent advocate if they need one.

We work in partnership locally to:

  • Lead on the role of advocacy and personalisation
  • Build on the Gateshead Independent Advocacy Code of Practice
  • Develop outcomes-based advocacy services
  • Promote advocacy and its benefits
  • Plan and develop new advocacy services
  • Develop and deliver training opportunities

We also work in partnership regionally and nationally to promote advocacy.
