The last year has seen a great amount of changes in health and social care and some of these have given our members grave concerns. To start a conversation about what was happening in Manchester we held our "Care in Crisis" event on 18th October 2011.
This attracted a lot of interest and reemphasised the need for Manchester LINk to proactively champion the rights of service users at this time of upheaval and service change. Therefore, we have taken some of the fantastic intitial ideas for future pieces of work that were generated at the event, and developed them further in dedicated workshops and discussions with the LINk Steering Group.
For more information on each of these projects please have a look at the individual project pages or contact us on 0845 450 4247 or by email to manchesterlink@thebha.org.uk.

Specifically, we have agreed to:
