I have been a member of ResearchNET since October 2010 and I have loved every minute of it. I have been involved in various projects which have required me to step right out of my comfort zone.
Through ResearchNET, I have not only connected with other service users but also carers, artists, art therapists and even film-makers!
Without my connection with the Social Inclusion Manager at Bexleyheath Centre , I would never have had this wonderful opportunity or the other opportunities that have come from being a member of ResearchNET.
