‘Today has broadened my knowledge of advocacy and destroyed a lot of myths. Always thought advocates as representatives for people who have no one else but discovered this is not the case. I would not hesitate to promote advocacy to anyone, particularly if they were unable to speak or act for themselves. Before today, not aware of broad spectrum of problems and vulnerable groups served by advocacy. Truly a shared understanding - well done!’
