Update: Advice Team – Equal Lives

Graphic with a light purple background with wavy lighter purple lines striped in the background. A dark purple phone with a phone cord attached is on the bottom left corner with a speech bubble which states Advice team Update. The Equal Lives logo is on the top right hand side. Equal Lives is written in blue text, with a tagline written in purple - Free from disabling barriers. There are 3 orange birds flying into the air above the writing.

The Equal Lives Advice Service has been closed for several months due to a restructure.

Our Advice service re-opened to emails on Monday 7th July. We are hoping to be fully open by the end of the month. Our Advisors have over 30 years combined experience of advice work and will be able to support any enquiries from adults 18+ who have mental or physical disabilities. Our designated Triage Assistant will be able to take enquiries via telephone, email or in writing. 

We will be able to advise on:  

• Advocacy and representation 

• Mental health 

• Welfare rights and disability benefits 

• Assessment of health and social care needs 

• Personal budgets and direct payments 

• Rights and entitlements 

• Other issues related to disability and employment 

  
  

Remember you can also help us shape the design of our Advice service. We are particularly interested in your views on Group support. Take the survey on the Information & Advice area of the website! 

We thank you for your understanding and patience. If you have any enquiries about the Advice service in the meantime, please email us at advice@equallives.org.uk or use the contact form: Contact | Equal Lives
