We have a range of service user groups that you can get involved in to share your views, meet people who have had similar experiences to you and make sure your voice is heard.

The groups are an invaluable way for you to give important feedback on our services, learn important details about what's going on at the Trust and help us to make decisions.

You can find out more about the range of groups you can get involved in below.
