Hi
I found your details on the ESF proposal pages and wondered if this was of interest - or if
you could forward it to others who might want to be involved.
thanks

MAD CHICKS NEW DATE NOVEMBER 27TH
28.09.2004 15:46
Mad Chicks is about women psychiatric patients and survivors of the psychiatric system, who are sick of being treated like crap and generally sidelined. Mad Chicks believes that a women-focussed organisation and campaign can highlight issues with particular female resonance, such as mixed wards, childcare, assertiveness and rights, sexism in the NHS - and provide a more conducive space for women to discuss their experience of services.
Mad Chicks is being launched on Saturday November 27th 2004, 1-11pm, with an afternoon and evening of events exploring, raging about and improving women's mental health. The Union Chapel, Highbury, North London will be host to an arts & mental health info fair, creative workshops, debates, video, artwork, massage, a cafe and a live gig in the evening, with music, comedy, poetry, live arts and general merriment. The line-up will include some of the great mad women of art, poetry and rock & roll. Ana da Silva and Gina Birch of The Raincoats, Maggie Nicols, Gertrude, Bobby Baker on video and lots more tbc. The daytime events will be for women and girls, and the evening will be for everyone.
Get involved! Mad Chicks is looking for women volunteers and also for organisations who would like a free stall at the info fair. Groups are planning to come from all over the UK. Find out more from
