Introduction To AIMS

Advocacy is about helping people speak up about what is important to them in all aspects of their life. It can be carried out by anyone a person wants to speak up for them or help them speak up for themselves. This could be a friend, family member or support worker. 

Helping People Speak Up for Themselves

Some people, however, have no-one in their lives to help them speak up. They may feel isolated or alone, or may be surrounded by people who help but who all have conflicting interests.
