Shepway Open Forum held a successful trip to Broadstairs Folk Festival last Saturday. It is thanks to Folkestone Salvation Army for the hire of their minibus and our volunteer driver that we were able to have a good day out. This is a good example of local groups working well together. Our 12 members had an enjoyable and independent day knowing that they had a map and a mobile phone number which they could contact us on if needed. Even though some of them did not like Folk Music they still enjoyed the rest of what Broadstairs had to offer. As it was so successful we are planning another event soon.

Shepway Open Forum for Mental Health - blog update
"On the 27th July Shepway Open Forum (SWOF) and Folkestone Rethink Carers Group held a joint meeting with Howard Rowles, the Recovery Service Line Manager for Shepway and Ashford.
Howard gave a presentation updating us on changes and proposed changes for both the Recovery and Access Teams and discharge back to Primary Care.
The question and answer session was lively, challenging and informative. The meeting was very well attended and everyone had a chance to ask questions, even if the answers sometimes did not relate to peoples' current experience of services.
We would like to thank Howard for attending and will be taking up his offer to meet again in six months time."
