Hi

Not sure if any on this list are working on issues that this event (in
Warwickshire) is of interest. But they are offering 50 free places on
each day.

Hello

We're delighted to let you know that Arts'n'Care is back for 2008: and
it's
looking bigger and better!

Last year's event received tremendous feedback, such as:

"A brilliant day"; "An excellent event which I'm sure will grow";
"Brilliant
day. I increased my awareness in so many ways. Thank you all"; "Very
enjoyable and full of ideas and inspiration"; "Superb. Had a fantastic
day.
Thank you"; "Excellent day - lots of fun and informative things.
10/10"
"Excellent place to network and make links with others"; "Fantastic
atmosphere - left feeling invigorated".

 So how do we top that? Well, this year we're holding this key
national
event showcasing the effective use of the arts in social and health
care
over two days: 29-30 October; the first day dedicated to using the
arts
within children and young people's services; and the second day to
adults
services.

And this year we're making 50 places free to young people (on 29 Oct)
and 50
places free to adult service users (on 30 Oct) - but it's strictly
first
come, first served! And bookings are already coming in taking
advantage of
this great offer - so hurry! For each fee-paying delegate you can
bring up
to 3 service users or young people free (with a max of 6 per
organisation).

Check out our flyers for all the details.

For 30 October - adults' services, click:

Our flyers will give you the flavour of what to expect at Arts'n'Care
08. As
well as inspirational workshops, for young people we have performances
by
the poet (and care leaver) Lemn Sissay and upcoming rap star Clumzy
Tung.
Also Radio 1 and Radio 1xtra's entertainment reporter Greg McKenzie
(also a
care leaver) will be on hand.

On 30 Oct as well as participative workshops for adult service users
(people
with disabilities, mental health needs and older people) we also have
performances by the brilliant poet and comedian John Hegley (a former
mental
health nurse) and lunchtime entertainment from Steve Day - Britain's
only
deaf comedian ("if there's another I haven't heard!")

You can book and pay on-line at our new
websitehttp://www.rightthing.co.uk/ which has just gone
live. Hopefully there won't be, but if there are any technical
problems please bear with us - and drop me an e-mail. I've attached a
booking form in any case. We will be adding more and more to our
advertised line-up - so keep logging on over the coming weeks to check
out what's new.

We look forward to seeing you this year!

All best
Graham
