This is for the people who run brightsparks? 1) Did you ever consider setting up a facebook group for brightsparks ? or did you think people want to retain their privacy given some peoples vulnerability – just wondered. 2) I keep meeting people or know people with a mental health history who have artistic tendencies who dont know about Brightsparks! 3) 27a are working very hard to improve things both the board, the staff and volunteers – we had a successful staff mtg. last week. 4) i dont know if i am alone but i have been having mental health issues related to being out of work / jobcentre / new deal – mostly the last. (If you’re not sick new deal is compulsory) i have at times become a bit paranoid or obsessive because you can escape its clutches but they dont take responsibility for their actions or ignore you (they ignored my complaints). i find with any mental health problem if you can share it this helps a lot. i am a bit isolated but apart from that i am fairly normal and want to remain that way! i am being silly worrying about such stuff?
