National inclusion week 14th - 18th September 2026

The purpose of National Inclusion Week 2026 is to strengthen trust, belonging and inclusive practice across LHP, while giving customers clearer evidence that their voice, needs and experiences influence how we deliver services. The national theme is Build Trust. Navigate Change, and it fits us well: LHP is changing, and trust is what keeps customers and colleagues with us while we change.

By the end of the week we will have:

■ Increased customer understanding of why we collect equality, diversity and accessibility information.

■ Shown how customer and colleague feedback leads to real service improvement.

■ Built confidence that LHP responds to individual needs and is committed to fair and accessible services.

■ Strengthened colleague understanding of their own role in creating an inclusive culture.

■ Created opportunities to learn from colleague and customer lived experience.

■ Generated practical commitments and improvement actions that are followed through after the week.

Every event is about the same 2 things: listening properly, and doing something with what we hear.

We are looking for Customers to take part on session on Thursday the 17th to speak about accessibility neds and share their lived experience, if you would be interested, please e mail us at getinvolved@lincolnshirehp.com
