Update: What's Happening With UFO?
Over the last couple of months UFO have been reviewing what they do and how they do it. A working group made up of UFO members and DST staff was convened. In light of certain financial and operational factors it was decided that some restructuring of UFO would be beneficial. The first of these changes involves making the main meetings a bi-monthly affair. They will be still be held at the Unitarian Chapel but will now run from 11:00 until 13:00. The first hour will be themed, involving service users, service providers, guest speakers, work shops, Q&A sessions and any other approriate content we can think of (suggestions welcome). The second hour will consist of time for any other business, peer support, networking and lunch.
A ‘working group’ has been set up consisting of the steering group members and 17 people from the main group. A fair and open selection and voting process was followed to ensure anyone interested in joining was considered. The group will split into small teams of 4 or 5 and work on specific tasks, such as: UFO website, newsletter, radio show, reviews of services, presentations and anything else we deem important, appropriate and of interest to service users. This group will be held bi-monthly on the first Tuesday of each month.
