Congratulations to our Lived Experience Champions for winning a Barnardo's Excellence Award!

Four young people from Bristol have been awarded Barnardo’s Excellence Award for their work championing the health needs of care leavers.

​

Over the past year they have consulted their peers to look at ways to improve primary health services and mental health services.

In their report young people talk about;

• Experiences of stigma

• The service gap at age 18

The benefits to mental health of;

• Social prescribing

• Positive activities

• Peer support

They presented their report to local health providers, Bristol City Council, the board of the CCG and have been part of a national pilot.

We are really proud of their hard work and the report they produced.
