3D Voice aims to empower the voice of  the VCS in Hammersmith & Fulham and as the the 3D Voice officer for Sobus, I’ve been visiting community centers in LBHF to find out how best to support them. I’ve also recently met with start-up organisations which is great, because I can be part of the process in supporting these organisations from the start. However, 3D Voice will continue to source any H&F organisations which feel unheard, or under-represented, aiming to empower the voice of the VCS in Hammersmith & Fulham, so make your voices heard and influence local services! – Email: 3d.voice@sobus.org.uk

Please see the flyer for the second Building Trust listening session I am facilitating in conjunction with AFND ( www.afnd.org.uk ) on Friday September 8th 2023.

Here’s an overview of what the Building Trust Project is about:

Beginning with black residents, local people will tell their stories face-to-face to those in the NHS and council who plan and provide our local health and care services – people in positions of authority who have the power to change things for the better.

The aim is for these sessions, which are being led by the borough’s voluntary and community sector, to create a shared understanding of how difficult issues like structural racism and poverty affect residents’ experiences of health and care services and the outcomes they get.

Re as young people with disabilities/SEN are supported up to age 25, we will accept young people up to 25 years old for this listening event. Ideally we want as many young people who live and/or access NHS services within Hammersmith & Fulham. However we can accept some young people from neighbouring boroughs. Please do not hesitate to get back to me or Harold (AFND) aka H 07552140965 if you have any questions.

Whilst it’s not on the flyer there will be Westfield vouchers for every young person who attends.

 

 

Any weekday between 9am and 1pm:

  • Book a hot desk for £5 an hour (+VAT)
  • Book a meeting room at 20% discount

Sobus 3D Voice service will work with VCS organisations within Hammersmith and Fulham to empower the voice of VCS organisations. 3D Voice encourages local residents and ethnically diverse community groups to discuss challenges in the local community. 3D Voice wants to empower organisations that have their finger on the pulse of local communities, but are not being heard. They may lack the skills, information or confidence to participates. 3D Voice aims to develop and grow your organisation and connect with other in the local community. Small organisations are the heart of local communities, it’s important to have your voices heard.
