We would like to announce that The PFG has secured office space for two days per week. This is a great support in helping us to continue with our work. Those of you who know us will often see us carrying HUGE bags around with all our paperwork so at last we have a filing cabinet to call our own. We are absoloutley over the moon and this will make sure that we can be more organised and efficient within our work.
The PFG have reached their first anniversery as a group of citizens working together. We believe this is a great achievement and shows the level of commitment and dedication we have as a group to continue working together. Its been a funny old year with some amazing highs and lows. We have achieved so much in the time we have been together and are looking forward to see what our next year brings. The PFG wish to thank everyone who has supported us during our first year and we hope to continue doing our community proud.
We are delighted that Vinny has been selected to represent the PFG in the next stage of the nomination process to be an Olympic Torchbearer. Vinny's inspirational story of personal achievement and contribution to the community has made it this far in the nominations. We will be supporting Vinny all the way in this once in a lifetime opportunity.

The PFG have nearly finalised our next publication 'Support Buddies'. The paper describes Support Buddies as a new citizen peer support project launched by the Personalisation Forum Group. The project is based on mutuality and a shared journey of discovery within which people help and support each other as equals. The PFG are very proud of this paper which documents our journey to date, shares good practice examples and explains how peer support is our communities strongest asset. We will be launcing our publication on the 28th September where we have four regional events scheduled. More details will be posted soon.
As always we have an interesting array of high level support for our document.
The PFG are proud to be supporting people in Sheffield to develop a Peer Support Model. The People's Parliment in Sheffield have been discussing how Local Authorities have been given less money by central governement and that one of the ways that they are trying to save money is by cutting services to disabled people as well as funding to disabled people's organisations and service providers.
