We aim to hold a meeting once a month and to publish booklets and the occasional anthology, and to perform live if any of the group would like to.
There is pressure whatsoever to write or perform - the purpose of the group is to support survivors of mental distress of any kind through their writing and to offer writing opportunities to the group. We would also like to play a part in raising awareness about mental distress at all levels from work stress to mental illness through our performances and our writing.
