Subject: Fwd: REMINDER - next meeting of APPGMH 4/3/08
Dear All
I am on the All Party Parliamentary Group for Mental Health. The next
meeting struck me as one that may have very wide general interest, being about
the importance of being able to experience nature and have access to a
'green' environment to mental, physical, and spiritual health.
If you would like to come to the meeting at the House of Commons, details
below, please feel free to attend on the day. An email to let me know
if you are coming may be helpful, but is not required.
