Networking: A Personal View Available to Purchase

Anne Harding was Deputy Director of Richmond Fellowship Workschemes until 1991 and a founder member of the CEFEC European Network. As such she has seen (and initiated) many of the developments in employment and mental health we now take for granted, especially social firms — having been the prime mover in starting Castle Project Printfinishers and a co‐author of the Social Firm Handbook, published by Pavilion 1997. Here, she gives a personal view on the value of networking and makes some suggestions for future issues of A life in the day which I fully endorse.
