Carers Voices

Do you …

• Help someone in their day-to-day life?

• Keep someone company if they can’t get out much?

• Help someone with their personal care?

• Care for someone who cannot care for themselves

Healthwatch Essex are working with Essex County Council on a project called ‘Carers Voices’, and would like to hear how you think services can be developed to meet the needs of those who care for others.

There are a range of ways to get involved including focus groups being held on:

Monday 26^th February 2024 at Witham Leisure Centre, CM8 1EP from 2pm to 4pm.

Wednesday 28^th February 2024 at Rainbow Centre, 2 Wych Elm, Harlow CM20 1QP from 9am to 11am.

Thursday 29^th February 2024 at CVS Tendring, 20-22 Rosemary Rd, Clacton CO15 1NZ 3pm to 5pm.

You may notice some changes to Let’s Talk SNEE over the next few weeks as we carry out some work to improve the platform.

We are reviewing the ways in which we use our engagement platform, Let's Talk SNEE with a view to improving it and making it easier for people to access information that is relevant to their locality.

In order to do this, we will need to add some questions to the registration form and before we do that we would appreciate your help in testing these out.

Please can you take the survey at

to answer the draft new registration questions and tell us whether you found them easy to complete.
