Help Lincolnshire Influence Social Care An Unmet Need in Social Care? Time to Talk

HWLincs is working with Healthwatch Lincolnshire to start a one-to-one conversation with local Lincolnshire people who have had an experience of a unmet social care need.

“Unmet need is described as needing help but not receiving any help”

If you are interested in sharing your experience, drop us a line and we will arrange a convenient time to get in touch.
