Shaping the future of Kent County Council Wellbeing Services:

CAN YOU HELP?

Community Wellbeing Lived Experience Workshops:

With KCC struggling with funding across the board it is important that they spend what they have wisely.

Already they are looking at the services provided by HI Kent to see how beneficial they are to the people of Kent with a hearing loss of any description.

The amount of funding HI Kent gets from KCC underpins all of our work, we would struggle to exist without it. KCC specifically fund the assessment/equipment and the wellbeing/information services we provide across the county.

If you feel the assessment and wellbeing services provided by HI Kent are important and would like to see them continue at the same or similar level, please consider attending one of the following workshops organised by KCC and share your views on shaping the future service.
