Marianne, Lynn & Sophie - Support, Information & Research

All three of these lovely people are on hand ready to take your call. They have big listening ears if you want to tell them what it was like last time you visited a health or social care service. They equally have lots of knowledge about how the 'system' works and can answer many of your questions about how to make a complaint or help you to understand what your rights are.

Steering Group

Our Steering Group is made up of volunteers. Together they look at the information and feedback we are hearing from you and use that to determines our priorities and goals.

Their remit is to define, shape and implement what we want to achieve; and is a core part of our governance structure.

They meet on a monthly basis to determine how best to get the most impact from your stories.
