Promise, the network for third and independent sector providers of mental health services in the North West, is looking for volunteers to represent the Network at the Mental Health Improvement Programme Stakeholder Board and Steering Board.
• The Stakeholder Board is composed of members drawn from as wide a range as possible of stakeholders from across the region, a third of whom will represent users and carers. This board will be charged with overseeing the agreement and delivery of the programme and operate at a strategic level, meeting perhaps every three to four months.
• The Steering Board will be a smaller body of 10-12 members, three of whom will be representatives of users and carers. The Steering Board will meet every four to six weeks and oversee the detailed development and delivery of the programme.
The closing date for applications is Friday 4 September.
