Campaign for Change
Read more about C4C on the C4C homepage >>

Mind in Taunton & West Somerset are one of the lead participants in the C4C Campaign for Change. This is an alliance of local mental health voluntary organisations, allies, carers and service users who have experienced mental health services in Somerset.

C4C has three main aims: the creation of a joined up mental health strategy for the whole of Somerset, clear and transparent commissioning of all mental health services in Somerset and clarity in the process of involvement and specific mechanisms for it to happen for the voluntary and independent sector and especially for service users and carers.

If you are interested and would like to get involved you can:

	Send us your details and we will add you to our mailing list.
	Contact us with your ideas for the main principles/themes that should be our vision for mental health services in Somerset. What should be the values which underpin all mental health services?
	You can attend our next public event when we will be asking some searching questions and reviewing progress. The date for your diary is Friday 24th July, all day. Venue to be announced.
