Our Impact
The difference we are making and how your feedback is helping us change health and social care
Our Impact
Healthwatch Redcar and Cleveland is your local health and social care champion. We are independent and want to make sure that those running services, put people at the heart of care - especially those who find it hardest to be heard.
We focus on ensuring that people’s experiences and concerns about health and social care services are heard and we speak out on their behalf to inform service development and ensure they meet the needs of local people.
Our Work 2025-2026
We are your health and social care champion.
Each year, we set our work priorities based on what we hear from you — the public, our stakeholders and our commissioners. Our goal is to improve services and ensure we have the right information to provide you with the best possible support.

Reaching out
We strive to gather insights from our diverse community to inform decision-makers about experiences with health and care services. We recognise that factors such as culture, location, socioeconomic status, education, environment, and discrimination can negatively impact health outcomes. We support the strong consensus for change and are committed to amplifying the voices of underserved communities and reducing the barriers they face.
Together Connect
Our Together Connect network brings together organisations and individuals who are committed to supporting our communities.
Developed from our Community Champions initiative, the network helps us work smarter, strengthen connections between services, and create better outcomes for local people.

NENC Healthwatch Network
North East and North Cumbria (NENC) Building a Strong Healthwatch Network
We formed a network of 14 local Healthwatch groups to improve health and care services both regionally and nationally. Funding from our Integrated Care Board helped us build strong, meaningful relationships within this network, consistently adding value to the design of health and care services.
