Would you like to play a part in improving access to services in Croydon, and possibly nationally?
DisabilityCroydon’s ‘Have Your Say’ project is a professional research project, using easy to use survey formats and accessible to people who have different disabilities.
We use the results to tell service providers in Croydon about the views and experiences of disabled people. Your names and personal details are never given to anyone. This can help them make improvements to their services, as well as confirm existing good systems.
Join us and ‘Have Your Say’ – contact DisabilityCroydon giving your name and contact details.
Please tell us in which format you would like to be contacted:-
