the National Forum

People added to the maps we

started at the last meeting showing
self advocacy groups and
involvement groups

This one shows what people like

about living in the East of England

We showed the new

National Forum website and
asked,

What would you like to see on the

Eastern Region page ?

Thinking about the future we asked :

What are your successs as a self
advocacy group or organisation?
what are the challenges?
What would you like help with?
We talked about the future and shared
the letter from the Co-Chairs about
funding.
We are going to make a plan to keep
going as a Forum
