Have You Got Something to Share?

Have You Got Something to Share?

Sharing your lived experience is a powerful way to make services, like health and social care, better and more inclusive. It’s also a great way to make new connections, gain experience, and get paid too!

If you’ve got something to share but aren’t sure where to start, Shaping Our Lives has launched a new guide and video which can help you. The free My Voice Matters guide contains an overview of what involvement means, who can do it, how to have a positive and inclusive experience, and where you can go to find opportunities.

Shaping Our Lives is a user-led non-profit organisation focused on empowering people, especially those who are marginalised and face barriers to being heard, to have their say.

The free guide, in both PDF and Word formats, and the video, can be found here: Share your lived experience – Shaping Our Lives

The guide and the video could be used by anyone who is interested in learning about involvement and how to share their lived experience. It’s also a useful resource for user-led groups to send to their members, particularly if you work with marginalised and underserved communities. Likewise, if you organise involvement activities, you may find the guide helpful.

When I moved to Sheffield nearly five years ago it was my "go to" organisation. I expect it to stay that way. All the staff and volunteers seem to pull out little gems of effort that disabled people like me couldn't do without. Professionally and personally - I love em :)

Disability Sheffield is a forward-thinking, energetic organisation doing a lot of positive work in Sheffield. I have no doubt they will continue to do so for a long time to come.

A fantastic presentation thought provoking and good questions from the floor around promoting this film/message to the general public not just professionals.
