Hello Everyone Dad passed away on the 5/10/2020. After a lifetimes struggling with mental health. His treatment from our local health authority has been extremely poor. In the last 15 years First care home CQC stated it had broken numerous parts of the care act. He was failed by the health authority. We raised 5 safeguarding alerts between November 2015 and May 2016 they were ignored. A hospital raised a safeguarding alert January 2015 ignored. safeguarding raised 14/8/2020 ignored He was failed yet again. 7 safeguarding alerts ignored. Dad was forgotten placed in a home 3 hour round trip on public transport. Without his family consent. No care coordinator 9 years Then care plans written without meeting him or his family... No medical review for 11 years. No best interest meeting No advocate A community team who didn’t care. Dad was failed again and again. Years 11- 14 Found peace and sanctuary in a local care home close to his family Heathside gave Dad his life back... He became engaged, socialised with everyone, came home numerous times, went out with the home and his family. Then he had a relapse in January is lack of care is staggering please read his petition below. We need to make this better in his memory. I started this petition "Crisis in Adult Care Priority should not be COST over CARE!" In Early August 2020. We are hoping you could help by adding your name to the petition. We are not asking for a donation. All we would like is for you to sign it, then share it as far and wide as you can. Adult social care in the UK, is broken hopefully, not beyond repair. I am passionate about making life’s better for the vulnerable and the elderly. We all have a role to play in this. I attended a full Governor meeting on the 14/9/2020) by Microsoft Teams and I was shocked and immensely disappointed to hear the Chair of the Board use a derogatory reference BASKET CASES. It is completely unacceptable to use such a phrase within any organisation but especially within the field of MENTAL HEALTH. We have Lasting Power of Attorney for Dad. In law we are the decision makers. However, this organisation who clearly view people as BASKET CASES there has been no discussion with us or any choices to support Dad. Shocking wouldn’t you say? Dad has been sent out of area to a place that over the months of the pandemic has had the highest rate of infection. For families visiting their relatives it has put them and us at tremendous risk. This place is now the highest in the UK. Where was the due diligence here? Your signature is vital to help make a change. If a chair of the board views people as BASKET CASES. There needs to be a complete cultural change within this organisation from the top down. My goal is to reach 100,000 signatures and I need more support. You can read more and sign the petition here: http://chng.it/dBc4j4Yx Thanks you from all our family. Iris Nickson Thank you for taking the time to help us...❤️

Thank you Forever Manchester this £500 award will go a long way. Thank you for your support.
At the start of the lockdown Dave and I discussed the possibility of running a virtual Chi Gung class and it has proven a great success. There have been 136 classes and over that time 1259 of our members have attended which is excellent news to hear.
Dave will continue to run the class virtually for the time being and if you are interested in joining please get in touch on info@mstherapynw.org and we will make sure you are connected.
The classes are run each weekday at 2pm.
It is an excellent way of keeping the body moving , helping with relaxation and more importantly helping you stay connected with others.
Great Job Dave. Well done. Babs x

Just to say a great big thank you to all our lovely supporters , your help has not gone unmissed and this is just to show our appreciation of everything you have done and do for our centre and our members.
If anybody would like to take part in a 100mph Zipwire in Bethesda, Wales on October 11th let us know via info@mstherapynw.org .We are currently planning for a group to zip that day to fundraise for the centre. They can organise a truck to drive you up to the top if you would struggle to walk and they are trained to help anybody who needs it to get into the harness and Zip away.
Just look at that view. Zip World
