RMCIA meeting this week

By

It's our next meeting this Wednesday 8th February, from 6 – 7.45pm at Manchester Carers Centre, Vulcan Mill, 12-18 Pollard Street., M4 7AN.

As well as having a cup of tea, bite to eat and a good catch up, we've got a guest speaker, Jessica Williams, from Manchester Mental Health and Social Care Trust. She’ll be talking to us about what becoming a Foundation Trust will mean for the Trust, our service users and members. As well as our forthcoming public governor elections and how these will enable members to have their say and shape the way mental health services are delivered in Manchester.

If you are travelling by public transport or by foot, a ‘walking bus’ will leave from the taxi rank at Manchester Piccadilly station at 5:30pm. Please call Lindsey Cree on 07757 082976 to let us know you will be coming, so we know to wait for you.

If you are travelling by car then free parking is available on Pollard Street after 6pm.
