self-advocacy-1 We defend and safeguard human rights through Independent Advocacy speech-bubble-advocay

 

Independent Advocacy

Independent Advocacy means that we make sure people:

  • Have a stronger voice.
  • Can access the most suitable information they need to make real choices.
  • Have as much control as possible over their own lives.
  • It also means we do not provide people with other services, such as care services.

 

Advocacy may not always get you the result you want but it does allow you to have your voice heard.

 

Collective Advocacy

advocators-poster 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 Aitegether4Change group, made up of the Advocators and Communication Champions.
The members of this group seek out the views of their peers and highlight issues to decision makers.		 communication-champion-logo

 

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.
