They received a total of 525 survey responses and spoke to 65 people during the six focus group sessions they facilitated. The team made it their priority to connect with seldom heard groups to truly reflect the diversity of South Tees communities. During the focus groups, they spoke to carers, older people, ethnic minority groups and people with a visual impairment.
