National Resistance

[Terry Skyrme]

There is heartening news of other campaigns to fights cuts to mental health services springing up across the country. In Stockport a public meeting to launch a Campaign attracted 179 people. In Cambridge service- users occupied the Lifeworks Centre which has been designated for closure ( Aiden Thomas at work again? ). In Ipswich last week over 60 people attended a first public meeting organized by the Campaign. The Social Work Action Network has asked us to come and speak at there national conference; this is a national crisis which will get worse if we dont fight back; over 1700 psychiatric beds have been lost nationally in the last two years ( Community Care Magazine ). Any other news of resistance should be posted on the website.
