Sunshine & Smiles Consultation Project
Between August last year and February this year we undertook a consultation project to capture the views and thoughts of our Sunshine & Smiles families, our team members and colleagues from other organisations we work with to help us plan and develop the future of Sunshine & Smiles. Sue Hoey who undertook the project on our behalf has done an incredible job and we are extremely grateful to everyone who has contributed to this process and to Sue for her care in doing this piece of work on our behalf.
We now have a wealth of ideas, information and inspiration to work with! And an extremely thorough report to demonstrate how needed Sunshine & Smiles is now and in the future.
We want to share this summary of the consultation process - please click here for the link to the summary.
We are now looking at creating 'theme teams' of people from our families, staff, volunteers and wider organisations to help us take some of the key themes that have emerged forwards. We would love to hear from you if there are any of the key areas you feel you would like to get involved in to help us shape the future services and support Sunshine & Smiles offers.
Please email Ailith on ailith@sunshineandsmiles.org.
Thank You from everyone at Sunshine & Smiles
