Hello All and Happy New Year
Well, what is the point in networking if you can't tell people about what you've got on!
If you are based in the South West and are involved with a rural community organisation or social enterprise - these events are all free to you and we can even cover the cost of your travel (thanks to Capacity Builders funding).

- Hi Jessie,
It seems that LivesthroughFriends is one of just a few initiatives that understands that the whole personalisation/self-direction thing is about communities and families, not just an extension of consumerism. Getting government/bureaucracy to take a step back is the biggest challenge. It only happens when people take the lead.It would be good to talk and see if there's scope for collaboration.
Kind Regards, Bob

Welcome to fieryspirits.com - there is loads going on so best just to have an explore. I would start with the site guide and watch the intro film which you will find in the video section. Thanks for your inquiry about the Manifesto - we are in the process of organising a mail out of this. We would like to take up your offer of disseminating the book in your neck of the woods. I was going to approach DTA to see how we could effectively reach your members. I'll be in touch! Don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any queries about this site.
Cheers
Kirsty
