Abstract
In 2021, an inclusive team of researchers from The Open University (OU) teamed up with Learning Disability England to find out more about the funding of self-advocacy. The research explored how and why some groups have managed to stay strong and survive, while others have found it difficult to secure enough money to keep going. The team interviewed self-advocacy groups about their experience of getting funding, as well as commissioners who make decisions about funding.
