You are invited to join the Working Together for Change workshops, which would assist Manchester City Council in their review of Adult Day Services in Manchester.

As part of the review, the local authority has commissioned Helen Sanderson Associates to run their Working Together for Change programme. It is a series of four interactive workshops, which will take place online via Zoom on the following dates – 11th, 13th, 24th May and 1st June, 10am-12:30pm.

Attendance is required for all four sessions, and participants who complete the whole programme will receive a £20 shopping voucher.

What is the Working Together for Change model?

Working Together for Change is a process that brings together a group of key people to explore and learn from real information, from the real lived experiences of people who use services. Decisions and actions resulting from the event is co-produced with people who use services and their families as well as key decision-makers.

You can find out more about how Working Together for Change works by watching this short video:

Helen Sanderson Associates will be leading the workshops.

Manchester Parent Carer Forum is a group of parents and carers of disabled children who work with Manchester Local Authorities, Education Settings, Health Providers and other providers to make sure the services they plan and deliver meet the needs of disabled children and young people (0-25 years), as well as their families, in Manchester.

We have a steering group of parent and carer volunteers who lead this work and listen to the views of other parents and carers in the local area to make sure they know what is important to them.
