Urgent cuts bulletin!

By
Are you affected by mental illness and concerned about budget cuts proposed by Manchester City Council?

We are working with Irwin Mitchell solicitors to identify any individuals who are concerned that they will be badly affected by the budget cuts proposed by Manchester City Council.

You may be an adult who is:
  • experiencing serious mental health problem or has a physical or learning disabilities and is in receipt of income support
  • the carer of someone in this situation
  • or the parent of a child with physical or learning disabilities or mental health problems.
If you are concerned that the proposed cuts might affect the support you receive we would like to hear from you.

If you would like to discuss your situation with Irwin Mitchell on an informal basis please contact Mathieu Culverhouse on 0161 838 2390 or by email. Any information you provide will be treated confidentially.

As a group we provide a meeting space, support and information for anyone affected by severe mental illness. We meet on the second Wednesday of every month from 6-8pm at Manchester Carers Centre. All are welcome.
