📱 Have your say on digital inclusion in Worcestershire

Worcestershire Digital Inclusion Partnership is running a survey to understand how people across Worcestershire get information, use technology and access services.

The survey launched on 1 October 2026 and your responses will help identify where people may need additional support with technology and online services. The findings will also help shape future digital inclusion activities across the county.

The survey is:

✅ Anonymous
✅ Open to anyone aged 18 or over
✅ For people who live in Worcestershire

💻 How can you take part?

You can complete the survey online at:
👉 Worcestershire.gov.uk/DigitalSurvey

If you would prefer some help completing the survey, Wythall Parish Council can help.

📞 Contact the Parish Council office on 01564 823149 and we can go through the survey with you over the phone or, if preferred, in person.

📄 Paper copies are also available for anyone who would prefer to complete the survey on paper. Please contact the Parish Council office to request a copy, which can then be completed and returned to the office.

Whether you are confident using technology or find accessing online services more difficult, your experience matters. By taking part, you can help improve understanding of digital inclusion needs across Worcestershire.

💚 World Mental Health Day – 10 October 2026

This World Mental Health Day, we’re recognising the 2026 campaign theme:

“Lived Experiences Heard: Real Voices, Real Change”

Everyone’s experience of mental health is different. Listening to people who have experienced mental health challenges themselves can help us better understand what support is needed, challenge stigma and make sure people’s voices are heard.

🗣️ Lived experience matters.

Whether it’s a personal experience of mental ill health, supporting a family member or friend, or navigating mental health services, people’s experiences can help shape better understanding, support and services.

As a community, we can all play a part by:

💚 Listening without judgement
💚 Making space for honest conversations
💚 Challenging stigma and misconceptions
💚 Checking in with friends, family and neighbours
💚 Supporting people to find help when they need it
💚 Valuing the voices and experiences of those with lived experience

Sometimes, simply listening and letting someone know that they are not alone can make a real difference.

This World Mental Health Day, let's make sure real voices are heard and lived experiences help create real change.

If you or someone you know is struggling, please remember that support is available. You can speak to your GP or contact a mental health support service.

☎️ Samaritans: 116 123 – free, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
