Sian Smiley, Engagement and Participation Officer for the Unstoppables was recently interviewed by the Preston Press about the group, their work and the impact they have had on the county as a whole.
Sian was approached by one of the columnists for the magazine – and student at Preston – Shannon, who was interested in learning about the Unstoppables, who they are, what they do and the impact that they’ve made.
Shannon asked Sian all about the group, what the best part of working with the group is, how many people regularly attend the group and about some of the successes that have come from the group.
Sian’s responses can be found in Edition 2 of the Preston Press, available now to view online or to download here.
Could you be an Unstoppables?
The Unstoppables is a youth voice group for children and young people with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND) aged 13-25 years, who live in or are educated in Somerset.
The Unstoppables help the voices and opinions of young people with SEND in Somerset be heard and to help make changes to and improve the services that they use.
We meet monthly on the first Saturday of every month in Yeovil to discuss the topics and issues that are affecting and are important to the group and other young people with SEND in Somerset.
