Welcome to the main website of Shaping Our Lives. We also have a busy networking website, SOLNET (click here to go to that website now, the noticeboard section has lots of news about events, publications, consultations etc).
Shaping Our Lives National User Network is an independent user-controlled organisation. We started as a research and development project but became an independent organisation in 2002. We now work with a wide and diverse range of service users. Click here to find out more about Shaping Our Lives.
On this website you can find out about publications on user involvement, some produced by Shaping Our Lives and some by other organisations. You can have our look at our most recent newsletter (published June 2008) by downloading it here.
