      My story is as unique to me as yours is to you, but these differences, as well as our varied

backgrounds, ages, personalities etc. mean that we are well placed to contribute to the steering committee and ensuring that the voice of lived experience is embedded in any service changes or new initiatives. By volunteering a small part of your time you can help not only the service, but those that come after us that will use it. Please consider contributing your knowledge and expertise by becoming part of the safe space that is the committee, and know that your insights and contributions will be valued and heard.
