“As a student I am grateful for my time with Partners in Advocacy — it was an honour & a privilege to work alongside a team truly committed to empowering voices and making a real difference. I’ve learned so much and will carry the experience with me always.”

– Martin McCabe – Student Placement from University of Strathclyde

“I would like to start by thanking everyone at Partners in Advocacy for being so supportive and welcoming during my weeks of placement.

The placement itself was an incredible experience, all I could have asked for and more. I firmly believe that the comprehensive
training given, and the opportunity and responsibility to be part of implementing a new resource has helped me build my confidence, skills and potential.

The work that the team at PIA do is inspirational, they are driven and passionate about what they do. I would not hesitate to recommend Partners in Advocacy as a placement or workplace. They have set an extremely high standard for future employers. Thank you everyone!”
