Voices for a Better Future 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.

Members of the group bring their own personal insights and lived experience of Scottish care settings. This helps to shape Future Pathways. And it helps Future Pathways to:

• make the service better

• check how the service is doing

• make policies and practices better

Members work together to make sure that Future Pathways and other services:

• include people

• respond to people’s needs

• are shaped by people’s lived experiences

The group has 9 members. Membership of the group will be reviewed each year.
This will give other people the chance to join the group.

Voices for a Better Future are already making a difference. They are taking part in several projects and key areas of work. You can find out more about the group in the updates and features below.
