The 2008 Woking Mental Health Fair is being organised by CornerHouse and will, as usual, offer something to everyone. Over forty exhibitors will be participating, including most of the major statutory and voluntary sector mental health organisations in Surrey.

The main attraction this year will be an exhibition of artefacts and photographs depicting the history of Brookwood Hospital - courtesy of The Lightbox. For anyone interested in the history of the Asylum, which was established in 1867 and closed in 1994, a brief history and some photographs can be seen Here>>

 

There will also be a launch and presentation of key recommendations from the BME Community Engagement Project report produced by Shifa - Woking Asian Women's Group.

 

In the afternoon Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust will hold a public consultation about hospital services for people with mental health problems, learning disabilities and drug and alcohol problems in Surrey and NE Hampshire. This consultation event is part of a programme of consultation named Our Future Your Say
