In 2017, Healthwatch Sheffield launched #SpeakUp Small Grants, aimed at local not for profit, third sector, voluntary or community groups, to enable them to run projects that help local people share their experiences of health and care services in Sheffield.
They’ve been publishing the findings from the scheme. Reports in November and December focus on the experiences of children and adults with autism and learning disabilities. The Burton St Foundation, Luv2MeetYou , Asperger’s Children and Carers Together, Autism Hope and Sheffield Voices, Disability Sheffield’s learning disability group share what life has been like for them during the Covid-19 pandemic.
You can read the reports and keep an eye out for more in the coming weeks here.
