Have a look at our short slideshow to show you what the Champions have been up to.
Today we are nearing an end to our six week “I don’t do computers” course, Today is our last day and we aim to make it a joyous and beneficial one. We are pleased to say it has been a great success and we have recieved positive feedback from many Champions. We sincerely hope each and every one has learned something new and enjoyed this experience.
The Question is, do you do computers now?
A course for Champions who want to learn how to use a computer.
We will learn basic computer skills and how to use a computer to
feedback to and influence mental health and wellbeing services in
Nottingham.
By attending this course you will be able to:
• send and receive emails with attachments

One of our fantastic Champions of Change was selected to give away copies of one of her favourite books during World Book Night. Verity chose ‘The Life of Pi’ by Yann Martel as her book and to have an event in Nottingham Central Library to give away copies of the book to other Champions. This is a Flickr slideshow of some of the pictures from the evening (more to come!)
Our first Champions’ Newsletter of 2011 is now online. Download it on the Newsletter page here.
How about that, a slot in the Evening Post. Great exposure not just for Champions of Change, but for awareness of mental health in the city.
