In March 2005 we went along to the Mind Annual Conference and Exhibition in Harrogate . Over 900 delegates visited the exhibition over the three days. The theme for this years conference was ‘Stepping up to excellence’ which aimed to highlight and celebrate good practice within the mental health field, focusing on user initiatives, excellence and innovation in services, rights, arts and relaxation.

Over the 3 days there were lectures and workshops to attend as well as events as diverse as drumming, reiki and yoga in the relaxation zone. More details on the event can be found on the Mind website www.mind.org.uk
