Dear all,
Please make this more widely known.
I hope you will also engage in some mutual list adding.
For example Direct Action Casework and advocacy by LCAP would obviously complement the Self-Advocacy Training being done by Cool Tan Arts (a predominantly Mental Health Survivors' Disabled People's Organisation).
It is a pity the meeting at Navarino Gardens clashes with an important meeting, 1-3pm at Euston.
Can we please avoid clashing!
Yours
Adrian
