A group of people affected by mental health issues, either directly, as family members or friends, or because we work in the field of mental health. They believe the voice of lived experience should be heard and welcome everyone who shares this view. They aim to act as a forum for the exchange of innovative ideas around areas of mental health and inclusion, to network, and to take positive action to change perceptions and improve people’s lives. They listen to a range of speakers, discuss ideas and plan campaigns and meet monthly.
