Your Say is an informal collaboration of social care service users. It's an open, friendly consultation group which is run by its members. Each month we focus on a particular issue e.g. PIP Assessments, changes to services, budget cuts. We also provide a safe and confidential space for members to raise and discuss their own issues. The group aims to campaign for the rights of themselves and other service users ensuring the voices of those with disabilities are heard. We meet the last Thursday of the month.

(This group will return early 2021)

Accessible Wellbeing Walk

(This group is not currently available due to London's Tier 4 status)

Our Accessible Wellbeing Walk has been set up recently in association with Walking for Health, Outdoor Learning, and Richmond Upon Thames Council.

This walk is open to ALL, but specifically designed for those using wheelchairs or with limited mobility. Friends and Carers are more than welcome. 

The idea is to provide a friendly, interesting and most important nature-filled walk that wheelchair users and those using walking aids or with mobility problems can enjoy. The entire walk is on paths and has been fully risk assessed. Initial feedback has been very positive and we look forward to growing the group!
