RISE Manchester launch event

MANCHESTER EVENT 

Please promote this event to residents, friends and colleagues who may work professionally or have personal interest in the effects of drug misuse,



We are keen to spread the word about RISE Manchester and the public launch event on the afternoon of Thursday 14 February 2013 to make sure we get as many people as possible down to the Town Hall. 

Could I ask you to forward details about the event to any relevant networks or contacts? These may be colleagues within or outside your organisation, people or groups you work with or for, or distribution lists you look after or are part of. Your help with this would be very much appreciated.
