Last August, Anjan from the Public Health team at Merton Council came to visit the Merton CIL members group to talk about members' ambitions for The Wilson and what that would look like. The Health and Wellbeing Board have now published the results of their consultation and community conversations. Merton CIL members are featured in the report and we hope you feel heard.

As many of our members and supporters may know, we launched a new service supporting survivors of hate crime last year, which is funded by MOPAC. We recieved a Thank you letter from Chris Lee of Merton Council and have a new easy read version of our hate crime report.

Over 40 disabled people and supporters attended our annual “My Voice Matters” event on 8th December and told Merton CIL what they want us to focus on over the next few years. One attendee said it was “good to hear disabled people speak for themselves.”
