FRIENDS OF 1NE (Fo1NE)
Founded by a service user in 1998, this is a group of around 20 current and ex service users who meet on a regular basis. The Business Manager at 1NE also attends these meetings to provide support and advice.
The main aims of Fo1NE are:
The social events are very popular with around 60 people at the quiz evenings and between 150 and 200 at the barbecue. Every six months a newsletter is published for clients and ex clients (current circulation of around 400 and increasing every year) keeping them up to date with developments and events at 1NE.
At the moment, Fo1NE are extending their activities to include Saturday workshops for current and former clients.
