  • The people’s Network is a project which houses the Mental Health Guides Project and Foresight project within it’s framework. The project’s long term aim is to provide a User led, User run organisation which will comment on the voluntary sector in Hackney. In order to do this the project needs to build the capacity of it’s members via action groups, workshops and connecting to the outside world so that members feel that they have a place in the real world, outside of the system. It is a new and dynamic approach which is learning as it progresses but it has us all very excited here at SAfH!
