Unlike the usual approach to consultation and engagement, the projects within PAVO’s One Powys-Connecting Voices portfolio invite commissioners, service providers & others to listen to what’s important to them. These projects enable the voices of people with poor mental health, carers, children and young people, older people, and people with neurological disorders.
