An 1 l-strong Taskforce was recruited and took to the streets in November. Their role was to be a bridge-builder between the community and the work of PRNDC. They would also promote the help available through campaigns such as
National Warm Homes Week, and launch a community membership card scheme.
Health issues were also gathering momentum. A unique project called Support Not Pills was started to help residents come off anti-depressants and find the root cause of their problem.
