Have your say on health and social care services at the Citizens Reference Group
27 OctThe next Citizen Reference Group (CRG) meeting on Tuesday 10th November. It will take place from 1 – 4pm at Sheffield Town Hall.
The CRG was set up to enable Sheffield citizen’s to have their say on existing and future health and social care services. We are always looking to build on existing members and engage a variety of citizen’s from other groups and the wider community. The CRG meets quarterly to share intelligence, experience and ideas which will help inform and shape new health and social care projects. Everyone is welcome to join the CRG and we would like your help to encourage and inspire people to do so. Please could you help to share and promote information about the CRG amongst your networks and contacts?
For those unable to make November’s meeting, the next meeting will take place on 3rd February 2016, 10am to 1pm at the Town Hall. If you cannot attend either of these meetings but would still like to contribute to the meeting then please get in touch and we would be delighted to discuss this with you further.
For more information and to register your interest in the group please email Liz McGrael (nee Hartlebury) or Suzanne Rutter via Involvement or contact us on: 07815 707403. Thank you for all your continued help and support.

Opportunity for Volunteers to Join the Brand New Sheffield Flourish Digital Steering Group
Recovery Enterprises is working in partnership with Human Studio and the University of Sheffield to design and build an exciting new digital well-being hub we are calling Sheffield Flourish.
Funded by the Big Lottery, the hub will be a virtual meeting place that will enable people living with mental health conditions to take control over their life – a support and signposting online community where people living can find ways to recover their lives and flourish.
We have set up a steering group chaired by Brendan Stone of Storying Sheffield to help guide and advise the design and build phase of Sheffield Flourish between now and the public launch in spring of 2016.
We are seeking four volunteers with experience of living with a mental health condition who are interested in the power of digital and how it can change lives and communities to help us shape Sheffield Flourish.
Applicants don’t need to be a digital expert, more important is a positive view of the potential of digital resources to support people to flourish and being passionate about sharing, listening and collaborating with others to make a difference.
You will need to be available for our monthly steering group meetings in Sheffield city centre for all of these dates:
17th November, 2-3pm
1st December, 11-3pm
And then the first Tuesday of each month (January – May), 10am-12noon
We will provide training, on-going support and expenses.
The deadline for applications is Monday, 2nd November 5pm
If you are interested in this role please read the attached information sheet and complete the application form and email it to Alison Smith at admin
If you have any questions about the role: Alison Smith, Digital Enterprise Administrator – admin or 07736 149032
