Welcome to Maws Blog

Hi everyone and welcome to the new Maws blog which we will be using to update you all on all things MAWS. We hope to be able to update on things such as events which we will be attending, any work that we have carried out with the media, and with the NHS as well as articles of interest that we feel we would like to discuss.

One of the most important updates this week is that we are being hosted by the Mental Health Network in Glasgow, who have allowed us to use their offices when we need to come in and do admin duties and to also hold meetings in should we require to do so. This is a very exciting development for us all and we are looking forward to working with them int he future.

Another area of development is the new website which is being worked on by our tech MAW, she is putting her skills to good use, and has managed to completely re design things in a very user friendly fashion for those who will be looking to view the website in the not too distant future. She has been a very busy MAW, and we are excited to see what she comes up with next!

Last week saw two MAWS attend the BBC studios here in Glasgow to participate in the BBC’s “Listening Project” which Becky Duff from the “See Me” Campaign, put us in touch with. It was a very liberating experience , we were made to feel at ease by the lovely Victoria who met up and explained what we were there to do.  It will be archived in the British Library as well as being available on BBC Radio Scotland and BBC Radio 4, and also on our own website once it has been edited and sent to us.

As you can see, we have been busy behind the scenes, and we have quite a few exciting opportunities coming up which we will continue to update via the blog, twitter, and our facebook page.
