With the Advisory Group, you do not hide behind a facade; in fact, I have not shown my authentic self to a group of people, who I have only got to know over the past three months on Zoom, so swiftly.

What does the Advisory Group do?
MFT is heavily influenced by current theories of Co-Production, where professionals and volunteer Advisors work together to design, improve and review our services. The Advisory Group are involved in several different areas of the charity: this can range from the ‘big picture’ stuff – everything from strategy to policy – to the everyday running of our charity, where the group helps design and shape our courses, events, groups and activities.

How does the Advisory Group work?
We meet once a month, currently online, to review and discuss new projects and developments in the charity, and have sub-groups involved in specific projects. Membership to the Advisory Group is voluntary and flexible; we understand that commitment can fluctuate and we work together as a group to support each other and Mary Frances Trust.
