[log in to unmask]" type="cite">Please can any officer of the Community Psychology Section advise me whether the section is producing a statement or advice to Local Councils on the effects of cuts to services, such as clubs for the elderly providing companionship and hot meals to those who almost certainly will not have these community supports, due to local authority cuts. I have received a flyer about complete cutting of funds to such a charity in Holborn where 150 elderly people who might otherwise be housebound will be abandoned to fend for themselves from July this year due to such cuts.
It seems to me this was an ideal time for the Community Section to have been formed and to marshall resources on these issues together with the BPS as a whole.
This may all be going on, on one of the Community Psychology Websites which I do not visit due to time constraints and not having got familiar with them yet. I would be grateful for advice on this.
Thank you,
Erica Brostoff.
