We have received confirmation of our funding for 2026/27, which will support our continued operation until March 2027 at least. We continue to operate as normal; we are here to listen to your experiences of using health and social care services and to speak up on your behalf. We will also keep you updated as the situation develops.
"You have been vital to improving access to healthcare locally and your role, independence, and track record in placing patients at the heart of your work will not be easily replaced."
