AIMS Advocacy shares with us how an Art Trail celebrates Advocacy Awareness Week 2022

AIMS Advocacy shared how they celebrated Advocacy Awareness Week with an art trail.

The North Ayrshire Advocacy Trail project aims to raise awareness of independent advocacy across the North Ayrshire area through an exhibition of work created by people that use AIMS Advocacy’s service.

Spanning around 13 sites across the geographical area, the exhibition brings together print works and audio recordings that reflect people’s experience of both group and one-to-one advocacy at AIMS Advocacy over the years and how this has helped them to access their rights.

Each location has a poster with a QR code, which you can scan to hear a short sound piece.

This project is kindly supported by local shops, cafés and businesses across North Ayrshire, as they lend us their windows for our works. A big thanks from everyone here at AIMS Advocacy.

The AIMS team would like to remember A and J, who played a huge role in shaping our creative advocacy work into what it is today.

You can find out more about the Art Trail here, as well as see the artwork and listen to some of the short sound pieces.
