Last year the campaign had meetings to raise our concerns with the new Minister for Mental Health, local MPs, the Care Quality Commission (CQC), NHS England and the local Integrated Care Boards (ICBs).  Travelling to meetings in London and Ipswich have depleted campaign funds which rely on to support our campaigning activities.  All our campaigning and admin time is given voluntarily, free of charge, but the travel, website and campaign costs have made a large hole in our funds.

This year we are continuing to speak out about the crisis in mental health services in Norfolk and Suffolk and campaign for better provision locally and nationally.  In April campaign members are again mounting an exhibition of art entitled: Still Not Safe for Treatment.  As part of this exhibition, we are holding a national conference of grassroots campaigns in Norwich.  Our aim is to link campaigns and campaigners nationally to strengthen and step up our fight for justice.  

These activities require funds to continue to enable us to continue to highlight the unnecessary deaths and suffering due to inadequate provision.  We will continue to speak truth to power and hold power to account until we get what the people in mental distress in Norfolk and Suffolk require. That is why we are asking if you can make a donation to help us continue to campaign for improved mental health services for all in Norfolk and Suffolk.
