A new group designed to bring together people with lived experience to help improve local mental health and learning disability services will be launched next week.

SUNRAYS is an offshoot of the Trust’s Service User Network (SUN). As well as providing a forum for people to use their personal experiences to help improve services, SUNRAYS will encourage people to maintain their wellbeing whilst living in the community. There will be a focus on self-support, and the groups, activities and information-sharing opportunities that exist in the local area.
