Hear from a Parent and Carer Champion
As a service user of Cumberland Family Hubs, being a Parent and Carer Champion gives me a wonderful opportunity to give back and help shape services that are so beneficial to local families and our communities.
Cumberland Family Hubs are full of wonderful resources and brilliant, supportive staff. Every community across Cumberland is different, and being able to provide feedback from a local community perspective helps ensure that services are shaped around the needs of the families who use them.
It's also an amazing opportunity to meet the team behind the decision-making, share our experiences and, most importantly, feel that our voices are genuinely being heard.
I'm really proud to be involved and to have the opportunity to help make a positive difference for local families and communities.
