Voices Of eXperience (VOX)

18/06/2026

A heartfelt thank you to all VOX Scotland members who joined us for our AGM this week, both in person in Glasgow and online. It was lovely to see so many members come together to reflect on the past year, hear from group members and partners, take part in important discussions, and help shape the direction of VOX for the year ahead.

And once again, we'd like to say a very fond farewell to
who steps down as Chair after six years. Thank you so much for everything - we will miss your calm & steady guidance and support!
