March 2010: Due to the recent loss of contract, the Mental Health project is going independent from 1st April 2010. This simply means the group will be self sufficient and acquire funding via our (soon to be OCN accredited) training arm and various bids. Despite rumours to the contrary we are continuing to conduct meetings with service users, liaise with the services in Warwickshire and campaign for better services whilst battling against stigma. All other V4C projects will continue as normal.

If you are a user of facebook please feel welcome to join our group online. We will be sharing pictures, updates and upcoming events online and we'd love you to join up and do the same.
