Trustees are needed to save an important project designed to help people with ME and other neurological conditions in Powys. It will be run by MANGO (Montgomeryshire Alliance of Neurological Groups and Organisations) with the help of PAVO .

Community Voice funding has been promised for MANGO to employ a project worker for 4 years, whose job would be to help people with neurological conditions get their voice heard and influence service provision, first in Montgomeryshire, and then in the rest of Powys.

An added feature of this funding is that the Big Lottery required service providers to commit to engaging with service users, increasing the chance that we will actually be able to make a difference.

That project is now in jeopardy since officers had to retire due to poor health.

The Community Voice grant is only given to fully constituted groups, so in order to access the money and employ a project worker at least 2 more officers need to get involved in the committee ASAP. This project could potentially make a big improvement to the quality of life and care of people with neurological conditions throughout Powys, and their carers so if you think you can help please contact Jan for more information.
