It’s important that we celebrate when things have gone well or we have done something that we are proud of.

When Voices of Sandwell and the Forum for Independent Young Adults meet we always talk about the things that have gone well, and we help arrange events and activities throughout the year to celebrate all of the great things that we have achieved. We also like it when the people that work with us make an effort to say well done.

The things we celebrate are different for different people. Some people do really well at school or college, or are good at playing sports. For some people, it is more about how we have coped with living on our own or kept a job.

Saying well done to each other means a lot to us. If you can think of any ways you can help us celebrate, speak to the Voice Team.
