Advocacy Awareness Week. 13 to 17 October 2025.
This week is #AdvocacyAwarenessWeek, and @advonetuk.bsky.social is sharing blog posts, videos and more about how advocacy works. We often refer people to Advonet when they need advocacy support.
Some people can advocate for themselves, and Advonet provide some great self-advocacy resources to help.
Advocates help you access the support you need. Advocacy is free, independent, confidential and can help you find support. #AdvocacyWorks #SelfAdvocacyWorks #AdvocacyAwarenessWeek #AAW25 Image of a person pointing at a computer and looking at a person, they are smiling.

Advocates help secure your rights. They make sure your choices are respected and your voice is central. That’s why advocacy matters, and why we’re celebrating #AdvocacyAwarenessWeek. #AAW25 #AdvocacyWorks #SelfAdvocacyWorks

Advocates promote social inclusion, equality and justice. Advocacy supports people of all ages, backgrounds and identities to be included. #AdvocacyWorks #SelfAdvocacyWorks #AdvocacyAwarenessWeek Photo of two young women, sitting, facing each other.

#AdvocacyAwarenessWeek is here. Advocacy helps people speak up, know their rights, and make decisions that matter. Advocates are here to support your voice, because it deserves to be heard. #AAW25 #AdvocacyWorks
Next week we'll join other organisations in celebrating Advocacy Awareness Week.
It's a time to share the impact of those who stand up, speak out, and support others.
Together, our voices are stronger. 📢
