Description:

Advocacy Resource Exchange is a not-for-profit organisation which works in partnership with advocacy schemes, projects and providers to support the provision of independent advocacy for a wide range of disabled and disadvantaged people in England and Wales.

Many people are not in a good position to challenge discrimination, speak out about bad treatment or living conditions or seek out good opportunities by themselves. People with learning or other disabilities and users of mental health services have greatly improved their life chances with the help of free one-to-one advocacy provided by other local people. Some advocacy schemes offer a range of support, enabling people to make themselves heard by joining forces, helping one another, or using either paid or unpaid advocates.

ARX offers services to help people to understand advocacy, to develop better advocacy services, to become an advocate or to find an advocate if they need one.

Services currently include Advocacy Finder and a National Helpline.

Services:

Advice and support, Advocacy, Campaigning, Development of standards, Information, Networking, Newsletters, Policy development, Publicity and promotion, Research.
