Types of Advocacy

Self Advocacy

Self Advocacy is about gaining the confidence to speak up for yourself.
At Advocating Together we run regular groups where people:

• Talk about common issues
• Stay informed about important matters
• Take part in activities
• Make friends

Collective Advocacy

Collective Advocacy
is when people come together to improve an issue and have their voices heard.

At Advocating Together, this is carried out by Advocators supported by staff.

They gather views from peers and highlight issues to decision makers.
