I'm new to TavistockPeople website and not entirely sure where to put this, so here will have to do until some wonderful person out there can enlighten me and point me in the right direction!

I'm a member of the Service User's Recovery Forum (SURF), a charity looking to help local people with mental health difficulties. We aim to raise money and fund art groups and subsidised days out for those who can be the most marginalised in society.

We've been running since 2008, and have held exhibitions at the Wharf, mosaicing groups, trips to the theatre, walks, coffee mornings... You get the idea!

We're always on the lookout for volunteers to help us in our fundraising, and actually have a stall coming up in Tavistock to celebrate a wonderful day coming up in October - 10-10-10!

The tenth of October each year is World Mental Health Day. We're hoping to raise awareness through the stall providing information, and raising money through hand-crafted items on sale.

For more information, please just get in touch. It would be wonderful to think this website could reach out to more people!

Here is just fine I thinks, but also add details of the event under the 'Whats On' tab as not everyone will check general discussions for events. Good luck with the fund raising!

Sounds good. Is it going to be in the market?

Also, you can pretty much put things where you want on here. It's up to you really. There is however a 'Tavistock Volunteers' (I think that's what it's called) group on here that may be a good place. If you edit your story I think you can change the groups?

Welcome to the site! :)

We'll be in the Guild Hall on the 10th, though we do occasionally have a stall in the Pannier Market on Charity Stall days?

Thanks for the suggestions kyloe and cheerio123, I'm feeling pretty lost on this site! Does it get any easier? D=
