Choosing Your Support

Join us in a collaborative exploration of support services, where providers showcase their offerings to the community, and service users discover available options. This project aims to amplify the voices of those using these services and gather essential feedback for future development. With a diverse range of activities from flower pressing and salsa dancing to relaxation workshops, the event highlights the desires and needs of service users. Get involved, share your experiences, and help shape better services for everyone.
