A while ago I wrote an irate post about job adverts for the Moving People campaign (there's a thread down there
). Just to remind people that this is a campaign with £18 million of funding from the Lottery/Comic Relief (yes 18 million!) which aims "To makes lives better for everyone by ending mental health discrimination" (their words).
Well they have now changed their name and rebranded to Time to Change.
The new website is at....
http://http://www.time-to-change.org.uk/about-us
And they have just sent out a newsletter. Everything is very glossy, obviously a lot of money has been spent, all the words are fine etc. etc.. But I can't help but feel a bit cynical - it all feels rather top-down, organised.
What I want to know is if people know about it? have they heard about local projects? is it really doing what Mental Health SUs want? - this is a gigantic sum of money which is supposedly being spent on our behalf - what control or involvement do we have?
It would be great to hear from people who are involved.
