At Leeds Involving People, everything we do is powered by the voices, experiences, and dedication of our members. They are the heart of our work—shaping services, influencing policy, and ensuring that decisions are grounded in real-life experience.

Who can become a member?
We welcome anyone with experience of using health, social care, or community services—whether those experiences are your own or through caring for someone else. You don’t need to be an expert. If you have something to say, we’re here to help you say it in a way that makes a difference.

What does membership involve?
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach. We’ll support you in the way that suits you best—whether that means walking alongside you every step of the way or simply giving you the information you need to get involved at your own pace.

We take time to get to know your interests, experiences, and goals, so we can match you with the right opportunities. Some members join a group, others take part in one-off projects, and many go on to represent their communities in meetings with service providers, commissioners, and decision-makers.

We also offer training and ongoing support for anyone who wants to develop the confidence and skills to speak up for themselves or others.

Why join?
Your voice matters. Whether you want to celebrate something that’s worked well, highlight a service that needs to change, or just share your story—your experience can help shape better services for everyone in Leeds.
