7.30pm - 8pm tea/coffee/cakes

Plus some goodies to take home!

A small donation will be welcome, this will go to support our local monthly group and Rethink organisation.

Right now people with serious mental illness die, on average, 20 years before their time mainly from preventable physical illnesses and we don’t think this is fair! Our ambition is clear: to fight as hard as we can, for as long as it takes, until people with serious mental illness have the same life expectancy as everyone else. 

If you are travelling by public transport, Manchester Carers Centre is directly across the road from the New Islington Metrolink stop (Droylsden Line). It’s one tram stop from Piccadilly train station. If you are travelling by car, free parking is available on Pollard Street from 6pm

Park House relocation transport update

By
As readers of this blog may know, Manchester Mental Health and Social Care Trust is in the process of relocating psychiatric inpatient services from Edale House at the Central Manchester Hospital (MRI) site to Park House at North Manchester General Hospital.
