The Generate Voices Forum aims to give Generate members the opportunity to use their voices to campaign for positive change within Generate and beyond. We believe it is vital that Generate members are able to have a say in how services are delivered to them.
Through the tool of group advocacy, members join forum meetings share their own experiences and choose topics that they care about to campaign for change in local communities. We want all Generate members to have the chance for their voice to be heard!
At Generate Voices, members get together each week to discuss issues they care about and how they want to make a change.
Every member who joins the meeting has the chance to share their opinion. We believe every opinion is important and members enjoy speaking up!
No members are ever expected to share their experiences if they choose not to.
We respect people’s choice to listen.
Each month we have a special guest speaker join one of our meetings to share their experiences to the group.
To mark the 10 year anniversary of the Winterbourne View Scandal, the Generate Voices forum share their opinions on what happened and what needs to change.
