PETITION

    We, the undersigned, are upset at the announcement by Sheffield City Council to withdraw grant aid funding to Mental Health Action Group Sheffield (MHAGS).
    This is a vital user-led service supporting around 250 people with past or present mental health issues, with no similar alternative provision in the city.
    Closure will result in great distress and suffering for service users and cost far more in the resulting demands on social services and hospital and community pschychiatric services.

    We call on the council to reverse this decision and fully restore the £10,500 grant funding for 2017 and subsequent years
