User Forum

Cedar’s User Forum has local groups in Ballymena, Belfast, Downpatrick, North Down & Ards, Enniskillen, Foyle and Newry. Our aim is to be the voice of our Service Users province wide and create an inclusive society for all.

We are focused on making a positive difference to the lives of people with disabilities. We want to empower disabled people to influence and inform services that will support them to live fully inclusive lives. We are person centred, approachable and supportive of all who use our service.

The forum is made up of Cedar Service Users who are prepared to challenge poor practice and seek service improvements. To achieve this we consult and communicate with Service Users, management, staff and external agencies. If you would like more information please email: [email protected]

If you are a current Cedar Service User and would like to join the Forum please contact your Keyworker.
