Great afternoon yesterday with @HFTLSCft who came in to hear VFA thoughts on the new champion badge and poster soon to displayed in a GP Practice soon.
Everyone agreed it was a great scheme and we look forward to seeing it in our GPs soon.

Our @VoiceForAll3 group recently attended a breast cancer awareness workshop to encourage our service users to attend any screenings they are called for and what to expect during their appointments. This is one of the first of many of these workshops that we plan on running 🙌

In celebration of Easter, Elizabeth, one of our service users, created this beautiful Easter bonnet with the help of her support team. Using chicks, bunnies and sequins to decorate, Elizabeth managed to make the bonnet even more fabulous! 👒

One of self-advocates attended the @NWAMB_Inclusion community event and listened to their plans for the next year, she also had the opportunity to provide feedback on what she thought they could improve on 🤝

Our self-advocacy Men’s Group met up for their monthly catch-up session in a local pub. The group enjoyed playing pool, cards and discussed any news that they wanted to share 👍
