Asist have been providing advocacy in our local communities for 25 years. Advocacy is about speaking up for our rights, choices and inclusion.
​
As advocates we hear about the inequalities in our communities. Inequalities along with things like illness or difficult life events can make it harder for us to speak up. We also see people speaking up for themselves, speaking up in groups and speaking up for each other in their communities. Speaking up together gives communities a stronger voice.
