congratulations on your new role at Making Waves. That sounds like a really good partnership which I hope we can benefit from. I had tried calling you a while back and the email I had failed for you, just to let you know that we still are waiting to hear about the honorary award for this year. Fingers still crossed!

Dear Julie,
I am retired from teaching so do not actually use my service user experience in that way, though I have been on various focus groups and research groups through 'Suresearch', a group in Birmingham. I feel it would be expanding your remit too wide to join the group under these circumstances though I will be interested to read what people have to say if that is available. Thanks, Duncan
Hi Julie - good to link up with you
cheers
Thurstine
