Purple Steering Group

The Purple Steering Group launched in February 2023.

As an organisation we need help to steer the Good Ship Purple Patch in the right direction. We have recruited co-captains to jump on board and help us to anchor Purple Patch in some steady seas.

Our Purple Steering Group is a dedicated team of learning-disabled people who attend our Lifelong Learning Programmes and have direct experience of our work.

As Co-Captains, the group meet 8 times a year and act as a bridge between participants and the Board of trustees.

The group use their experiences, skills and knowledge to help us make decisions on behalf of participants at Purple Patch, give us feedback, and advise us on best practice.

The group are experts in what they do and having their voices and cooperation helps to ensure that what we do and the decisions that we make at Purple Patch meet their needs.

The group are directly making a difference to the service that they attend.

 

 

Take a look at what our Co-Captains have to say about being part of the Purple Steering Group…

“The more we meet the more we have to say”
“The Steering Group gives us opportunities to feedback”
“We make sure everybody is happy”
“I think people are more confident to use their voice and give their ideas”
“I’m glad to learn new things with everyone in the group”
