By

We'll be having our first meeting of 2012 next Wednesday 11th January, from 6 – 7:45pm at Manchester Carers Centre, Vulcan Mill, 12-18 Pollard Street, Manchester M4 7AN.

As well as having a cup of tea, a bite to eat and a good catch up, we'll be planning our activities for the year ahead and hearing from a speaker about a research project being carried out by the University of Manchester to find out more about the daily lives of people who experience psychosis.

Everyone is welcome – just come along.

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 Mary Patel on 07816 754 032 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.
