There are now well over 100 articles on our workingtogethercare.com website supporting professionals and families coordinating care for troubled individuals - under  headings Communication, Resources, Information, Confidentiality and Carer Survival.  In celebration of this achievement, and to explore ways of continuing our work and ensure the continuation and future of the website, our small team decided to organise an ‘Ideas Forum’ with interested professionals from various fields to discuss progress and ideas.

During yesterday’s very interesting and constructive working lunch, practical suggestions to help fund ongoing costs for e.g. internet services and technical support, included these possibilities –

The use of workingtogethercare.com in training...Trying to find a way of scrapping the membership fee…?  Linking up with a big organisation… Possibly donating what we’ve done, or perhaps being ‘adopted’?
Seeking sponsorship …?  Making applications for grant funding…?

We feel we stand at an exciting crossroads, with several possible paths open ahead!

All these ideas for the future, and more, will be explored by George (all the technical stuff), Penny (images) and myself Gráinne (writing the articles and inviting Guest Writers to contribute).  

Any comments on progress so far, ideas and suggestions for the future - please contact us.

An interesting road ahead...
