INFORMATION ABOUT VOLUNTEERING The group is run by its users and there is an monthly steering group meeting to facilitate this process. Anyone who comes to the weekly support group meeting is welcome to get involved in the Steering Group. At the Steering Group members can decide to get involved as much as either their current mental health or their other commitments allows them to. The sort of things that members could get involved in are: information gathering about mental health issues, publicity distribution, dealing with referrals, fund raising and even training to be a group facilitator. We also welcome people who do not not feel like they need to attend the weekly group to get involved in the Steering Group. The only criteria are that they have had personal experience of mental health problems either directly or as a carer and feel like they want to help the group expand and develop its activities.
