If you, a relative or a friend are affected by closures to mental health day services in Manchester, please get in touch with us. A friend of our group who work in the voluntary mental health sector has offered to meet with friends and families to find out how they are being affected and to discuss possible options. If this is you then send us an email or give us a ring and we will put you in touch.

Happy New Year everyone! I'll be posting more news soon but this is just a quick reminder that we won't be having our usual group meeting this month (9th January). We are having a special meal out for all regular group members so please don't turn up at Manchester Carers Centre as we won't be there!
