Viewpoint has been in existence since 2003, we are an independent charity which supports service users to become involved in developing and improving mental health and drug and alcohol services. We are not connected to any of the providers of mental health and drug and alcohol services. Service users can feel safe to express their views to us. We help people to get involved in improving services in the way that best suits them. “Service user involvement has to be meaningful and not just a tick box exercise, says” Chief Executive, Leslie Billy. “By maintaining our independence we can facilitate a range of pathways to enable this to happen.”
