Dave Appleyard, Jane Mitchell, David Shackleton, Bill Day This team of very experienced and distinguished Rotarians, Past Presidents all, introduced a new project to our club. It is regrettable but true that our national health service is over stretched and as a result there are long waiting lists, and therefore long waits, for almost all non-life-threatening conditions, especially in mental health. This is especially true for young people, where long delays in treatment can have permanent results both for them and for others. The "Lifting the Lid" programme recognises this reality and aims to bridge these gaps in our health system. The project is aimed at secondary schools and ultimately all schools. It is started by a group of Rotary Clubs in an area setting up a small committee and liaising with local schools.
