Shaping Our Lives has launched a new guide and video aimed to help people understand the power and benefits of sharing their lived experience.

The free My Voice Matters guide contains an overview of what involvement means, who can do it, and where people can go to find opportunities. The guide also contains links to tools such as the My Involvement Profile and Involvement Pledge, to help them to have a positive and inclusive experience.

We’re a user-led non-profit organisation focused on empowering people, especially those from underserved and marginalised communities, to have their say to shape services, policy, and research.

We hope that the guide and the video might be of interest to you and your members, particularly local non-profit organisations that are working with communities who are underserved and marginalised, who want to empower their service users to have their say.
