Collective Advocacy

 

Collective Advocacy is a group of people coming together to improve an issue and have their voices heard.

At Advocating Together, this is mainly carried out by our  Advocators, supported by a member of staff.

They seek out the views of their peers and highlight issues to decision makers.

 

Self Advocacy

 Self Advocacy is about gaining the confidence to speak up for yourself. At Advocating Together we have regular self-advocacy groups, where people come together to:

  • Talk about common issues.
  • Keep up to date with important matters that affect them.
  • Take part in interesting activities.
  • Make friends.

 

Please contact us if you would like to find out more about advocacy.
