Danielle is a member of the Big Lottery Fund’s National Expert Citizen Group, which is made up of people with experience of problems including problematic substance misuse, mental health difficulties, homelessness and reoffending. As part of the investment Fulfilling Lives: supporting people with multiple needs, the Fund is investing up to £112 million to improve the lives of people with these needs, by encouraging better blended services. Danielle, alongside other local expert citizen groups, is informing and co-designing the investments. Here she talks about how important it is to be involved in the project.
