Our Aims
The PFG is made up of people who live in Doncaster and who suffer from poor mental health. We came together as a group to help each other to create more personalised support solutions to benefit ourselves and our community. We believe that having a mental health difficulty does not stop us from being full and productive members of our society. We are a very ambitious group and hope to make the positive changes to local services that will help to create a national movement for change.
As a group we have received no funding or public services support but hope that we can demonstrate what can be achived by people working together, giving their time, effort and encouragement.
Some of our main aims include:
- Working together to fight discrimination and prejudice.
- Creating support solutions that help people to live active and positive community lives - challenging isolation and segregation.
- Challenging the stigma of mental health by making an active contribution to the community.
- Providing a voice and speaking up for those least able to speak for themselves.
- Sharing information and good supports and services.
