ECHO Needs You: Rep Group elections 2025

ECHO believes that our participants should have a BIG say in how our charity is run. We are looking for 10 participants to join the ECHO Rep Group. We need people who have their own ideas and are not afraid to speak up for themselves and others. You are the experts on how ECHO can best support participants and we want you to help make ECHO an even more amazing place to be.

It doesn’t cost anything to be on the Rep Group, but you do need to like hard work. They meet every Friday morning from 10.30 to 12.30 in Leominster.

If you think you might want to become a Rep but are not quite sure, please ring Claire at ECHO on 01568 620307 and she will help answer any questions you have before you decide to put your name forward for election.
