We are looking for people to join our lived experience group and our Leadership Team. You can find out more about this below.

At Future Pathways, we want to make sure we listen to people. It is important that we hear everyone’s voice. We want people who are registered with Future Pathways to help us improve the service.  

There are two ways that you can help to do this. You can:  
  1. Join Voices for a Better Future. This is a lived experience group. Every member is registered with Future Pathways. The group works with staff at Future Pathways and at other services on different projects. These projects help to improve services and raise awareness about issues that affect people. The group wants to make sure that services support people properly.  
  2. Join the Alliance Leadership Team. This team makes sure that Future Pathways gives high quality support. And they make sure that the service is focusing on the right things. The team includes two members from Voices for a Better Future. These members help to shape how Future Pathways is run and check that the service is working well
Your own lived experience is what is important. You do not need to have:  
  • any formal qualifications 
  • done any specific work 
  • any specific education 
If you choose to take part, you will need to: 
  • read things like documents, reports and policies
  • have your own device (like a laptop or mobile phone) and access to the internet
  • have access to a private space for meetings, for example, a quiet room in your own home
