What Is The Engagement Pillar?
We work to enable connected, aware and inclusive communities to participate in influencing and shaping the neighbourhoods and services they access.
We engage with people through our HARRI vehicle, across our Community Roots sites and within our in-patient services, developing links with seldom heard community groups and Voluntary, Community, Faith and Social Enterprise groups (VCFSE).
We recognise that everyone brings different lived experience expertise and that we need to consider people’s different needs.
Community engagement is about providing the time, space and communication mechanisms in place to enable meaningful involvement, participation and feedback to be valued and acted on.
We do this through listening to our community’s needs, experiences, ideas and aspirations through meaningful engagement and involvement, working in partnership with service users, staff and carers to support and help people navigate the health and wellbeing services available in their area.
If you have a passion for improving your local community we would love to hear from you! You can get involved through our Advisory Group, Peer Volunteer roles and Involvement opportunities.
