There are a number of organisations setting up, or already established, through the Right to Request scheme – all moving forward thanks to the entrepreneurship and motivation of the staff and local communities across the country.
The projects cover a variety of services ranging from primary care services for the homeless and for those in custodial/offender care environments, to mental health services, dental services and services for children and young people.
