Open Forum – Voice of Change

Tuesday, 3td June 2025 from 2:30 – 4:00 pm, ONLINE via Teams

This month we’ll talk about the Campaigns Activity that people participated in during our Reachout Create Open Day Event. You’ll have a chance to take part and imagine your own world free from Disability injustice. Please sign up to attend the Open Forum to catch the news!

We now have a new segment on the monthly Open Forum. Hear Us’ new Campaigns Project segment, Voice of Change, is a platform dedicated to the voices of service users and community members of Croydon. This segment is a chance to:

• Voice questions to SLaM staff, commissioners, or councillors.
• Highlight issues you have heard about or experienced in mental health services.
• Recommend campaigns for Hear Us to collaborate on with other organizations.
• Advocate for the change you want to see.
• Learn about how to contribute to the campaign’s project and any active Hear Us campaigns.

As always, we want to hear from you; our members, volunteers, and members of the mental health community. Following on from last month, we are working on putting together training packages and workshops that will prepare you to be on the front lines of our campaigning activities. Have your say about what the training should include by taking part in our survey, or contacting our Campaigns Coordinator via the email below.
