Advocacy Research Exchange (ARX) promotes and supports the development of all forms of independent and freely given advocacy, in particularly to disabled people. It provides training, a focus for exchange of information, advice and support and facilitates partnership working. This project will set up the Advocacy Finder Helpline to enable members of the public in need of advocacy to find help. A telephone and web based service will be operated by one part-time manager and a rota of trained individuals.
