We’re updating our website

We are currently updating the ARC KSS website to reflect our new funding and the changes it brings to our programme of work.  These changes will take place over the course of the next few months.

Please bear with us while we work behind the scenes to make these improvements. We thank you for your patience.

In the meantime, if you need help finding anything, please contact spft.arcksscommunications@nhs.net

This may be for a variety of reasons:

  • A desire to bring about change in health and social care services/treatments.
  • To have a ‘voice’ and be able to make a difference.
  • Doing something positive following a negative experience.
  • Giving something back after a positive experience.
  • To represent their community/communities or give others a ‘voice’.
  • Giving people a purpose/a role/an opportunity for personal development.

Here are some resons given by our Theme Public Advisors when we asked 'why they got invovled'.
