Advocacy

Read on to learn more about our advocacy pillars. Each of these pillars focuses on a key theme and highlights current issues and trends; proactive steps and work we are undertaking as an organisation; and what we believe others can do to help. The pillars will be reviewed regularly to determine which themes we want to amplify so we can best advocate on behalf of the people we exist for.

Read our 2025-30 strategy - Support. Action.Hope. - in which we committed to developing our advocacy work.
