“Social Spider to publish Stand to Reason Newsletter”

Stand to Reason is delighted that Social Spider CIC would like to assist us in fighting discrimination and stigma, challenging stereotypes and changing attitudes towards mental health service-users and has undertaken to design a 10-15 page newsletter for us, using their extensive professional experience in the production of audience appropriate community publications.

We aim to produce a downloadable quarterly newsletter which aims to:

•Provide a visual and written legacy of Stand to Reason
•Showcase the achievements, energy and potential of Stand to Reason’s members
•Motivate and inspire people to get involved

Stand to Reason have assembled a team to produce content and interviews for the newsletter, but we are very keen to receive feedback and letters, articles and testimonies submitted by our members.
If you would like to contribute please write to contact@standtoreason.org.uk

Social Spider CIC will design the Stand to Reason newsletter in a simple, professional style that will create a professional, attractive and audience appropriate publication that engages with our members and other relevant audiences in the community.
