We are delighted to be part of this year’s Towards Relational Public Services conference. Taking place in Manchester 3-5 June, the conference explores how we can create relational public services. This means services which focus on building relationships with people, rather than seeing support as transactional. It looks at how we can create better services by putting people’s lived experience at the heart of support. .
Future Pathways will be leading a workshop at the conference. Here, we will share more about our relational approach to working with other services and what this looks like in practice. We will also encourage participants to reflect on how this approach can be adapted for other services.
We’ll describe our relational approach to evaluation, specifically about how we measure the impact of our work with other services. And we’ll talk about how taking an outcome mapping approach can enable and support this.
Importantly, we’ll be sharing what we have learned about the impact of our relational approach for people with lived experience of in care abuse and neglect.
We look forward to sharing our learning with other services who are interested in developing a relational approach, showing the impact of their work with partners, and learning about how partnership working can support people to progress their personal outcomes.

Being There
Being There looks at the prevalence of multiple unmet basic needs among people we support. The report also considers the barriers people face when accessing support and how we can help people to navigate these barriers.
Pathways to Change
In Pathways to Change we take an in-depth look at the work of Future Pathways from April 2023 to March 2024. The report gives us greater insight into how we make a real difference, and where there is scope for improvement.
Data driven improvement
Data-driven improvement can help us to see how we can make a difference, map our influence and improve support. Find out more about how data helps us develop our service.

We have a new booklet with information about how Future Pathways shares your content. For example, through our newsletters, website, reports and social media.
At Future Pathways, sharing the experiences, projects, art or interests of the people we support helps to show the work we do and the impact it can have. It can help people to feel connected to others with shared interests. And it can help people to learn more about what it is like to be supported by Future Pathways.
Things that people share with us include:
- their experience of being supported by Future Pathways
- creative pieces, like drawings, crafts or poems
- stories about things they have done, like raising money for certain causes or doing different activities
Sharing content like this can be a really positive experience.
We want to make sure that you feel comfortable with how we share your content with others. It is important that you have choice in how we do this. For example, you can choose where we share your content and what name we use. We also want to make sure that you are happy to agree to us sharing your content and that you understand what you are agreeing to.
We have created a short booklet that gives you information about this. It gives you answers to common questions about how we might use your content. It also suggests some things to think about before agreeing for us to use it.
You can download the booklet below. If you would like a printed version or if you have any questions, you can:
