Engagement@Combined 2026 – our biggest event yet

Stakeholders from across Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent came together this week for a fabulous Engagement@Combined event.

This was our third year hosting our stakeholder, service user and carer event, and it has truly gone from strength to strength.

This is down to sheer commitment and dedication from our staff, service users and stakeholder organisations, and we would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone for showing up and participating in this engagement event. The power, energy, and ‘can‑do’ attitude in the room were both heart‑warming and encouraging, highlighting the strength of what we offer to our community members with mental health, learning disability and neurodiverse needs.

Many of the attendees commented on the momentum we have built together, and we are keen to keep this moving forward. We are committed to exploring how we can sustain these partnerships and make the most of the unique assets, experiences, and resources that everyone brings. Our ambition is to work in genuine partnership—helping to reach communities that may currently feel out of reach, and collaborating in ways that are meaningful, balanced, and mutually beneficial for everyone involved in delivering or receiving services.
