Lasting Power of Attorney - Your voice, your decision. The words 'your voice, your decision' are in a yellow speech bubble. This is the logo for the campaign.

Lasting power of attorney

If you lose the ability to make certain decisions, a lasting power of attorney (LPA), keeps those decisions with the people you trust. 

An LPA makes it easier for the people you trust to support you when you need it most.

It could be to help with decisions about finances during a short hospital stay, or support to manage decisions about your health and care in the longer-term. 

What is an LPA?

An LPA is a legal document that lets someone you trust make decisions on your behalf.

Working together

We want to work with partners and organisations in England and Wales to promote the benefits of having an LPA. 

Support the campaign with a toolkit of resources

The toolkit includes a leaflet, newsletter article, posters, and images and text for social media posts and digital screens.
