European Movement's new website

The European Movement has launched a new website: www.euromove.org.uk. It is exciting and dynamic and aims to help us all recruit new supporters to the cause. The aim of the site is to reach out to the many hundreds of thousands of people throughout the UK, who want to show their support for an organisation that stands for what they really want to see - a strong, confident UK committed to a secure, responsive and accountable Europe, which will always be open to reform whenever it might be necessary. The site will be updated regularly and used, above all, as a tool for recruiting new supporters throughout the country. Some may wish to become full members but many more may simply want to register their support or send a donation towards the campaign. In the run-up to the referendum UKIP and the Tories will be spreading all sorts of propaganda to try to scare people into voting for out - this website goes some way to redressing the balance and giving everyone the facts.

It is time to talk about postpartum psychosis

Psychosis. What sort of images come into your mind when you think about that word? My guess is that you didn't immediately think of a new mum with a tiny baby. Postpartum Psychosis happened to me, and happens to around 1400 new mums every year in the UK. When my first baby was just ten days old I needed to be admitted to psychiatric hospital. I had become very high and energetic after her birth, and by day ten I believed that the end of the world was coming.

I had a heart attack, why didn’t I know?

A few years ago I had a mild heart attack, but because of the inaccessible information I was given by the doctors I didn't even know that I had until over a year later. For Learning Disability Week, I'm sharing my story about why I want hospitals to have more accessible information for people with a learning disability. My name is Leroy Binns, and I work in the Campaigns team at Mencap. Fifty-three years ago my mum was told by the doctors that she should not expect her son to live past 10 years old. But what do doctors know, I'm still here!
