NSUN has opened registration for its Members’ Event and AGM on the 24th and 25th of November. They would love to see you there.

The focus is on mental health, racial justice, LGBTQ+ activism, peer support, and more, and lots of VCSE partners, folk from the survivor/user community as well as our grassroots group members will hopefully be in attendance.

It will be a free online event where attendees can go to as much or as little as they would like of the scheduled sessions.
