Happy new year to everyone

I want to start by wishing everybody a happy New Year and a big thank you to all that supported and virtually attended our webinars throughout 2020 also another big thank you to those who donated along the way, we may not have thanked you personally but as a small organisation your donations are gratefully received and go a long way. 

 

I want to remind everyone of our

21st Anniversary Conference
on Tuesday, 29th June 2021 
at the Royal College of Psychiatrists
We are hoping by then we can meet face to face. It will be a stellar line-up, and we aim to keep the conference price low so that it can reach out to as wider an audience as possible.  

Please note our annual general meeting is scheduled for Friday 26 February
It will be on zoom and there will be a short prestation by one of the trustees. 
Further details will follow.

We have also scheduled the following Tuesday webinars and hope you can join us.
