Company activities and impact

This year our community continued to grow, increasing the number of members discussing a wide range of social issues including disability awareness, race, gender and mental health. We continue to support members by running monthly virtual meet ups and in-person summits. Our monthly newsletter allows members to share good practice, collaborate and take part in opportunities. We continue to promote our members' campaigns and projects on our social media and actively encourage members to write blogs for our website. We continue to run a range of lived experience speeches, in person and virtually across the UK and internationally. We deliver work in schools, businesses, government organisations, the NHS, universities and charities. We provide free webinars available to all, covering the social issues we work within and bringing together lived experience speakers with professionals. We have provided speakers to support volunteers at the AGM conferences of regional Samaritan areas.

Members are consulted at the monthly meet ups, within the newsletters on their needs and the programmes that are run for them. We have recruited a diverse advisory board to provide support and advice to the directors. Clients are consulted via post-delivery questionnaires and meetings.
