The workshops can benefit both people with lived experiences and those who work in health, social care and wellbeing in our region.

Why are we doing this?

We need to understand what health, social care and wellbeing services are important to people living in our region, so we can create new services and improve existing ones. 

People living in our communities have different lives, experiences, stories to tell and needs.  With this mind, there shouldn’t be a ‘one size fits all’ approach to  community engagement.

Our workshops will look at the best ways to create platforms for people to have their voice heard, accepted and valued so they can make a difference to the future of projects and services they access.

There will be an opportunity to hear case studies, share learnings and undertake activities to discover the best approaches together.
