#SpeakUp small grants 2017-18 - DAWS Community Gym

Report - 5 September 2018

Disability Awareness with Sport (DAWS) runs DAWS Community Gym in Hackentorpe. They support people with disabilities to improve their health and wellbeing, and wanted to better understand their clients’ experiences of health services.

Our #SpeakUp small grants scheme awards funding to local community, voluntary, or not-for-profit groups, enabling them to engage with their communities about what matters to them.

Recommendations from the report:

  • Working with Healthwatch Sheffield to explore how people who use these services can provide feedback to them without fear of reprisals.
  • Working with Healthwatch Sheffield and service commissioners to deliver improvements to these services that ensure that individuals feel respected and supported and that they are provided with good quality information and advice.
