He's built all on his own, the amazing, and first non-profit, advert free, free to use, massive and impressive, mental health social network http://NET.mesomoco.org.uk an astounding feat of Web 2.0 engineering ... a gift to the mental health community ... a gift which needs funding.

http://NET.mesomoco.org.uk enables the people in the mental health space to privately connect, converse and collaborate to generate a positive impact among mental health sufferers. It is strictly for people involved in mental health, including mental health service users, carers of mental distress sufferers, and those who have experience of mental health issues.

You can use the network to:

- Connect with others who share similar stories, experience and goals - Find resources and get support on mental health issues - Engage in discussion around mental health with forums, blogs and community groups - Search for information & collaborate on producing it, via the Mental Health Wiki - Keep track of upcoming events like training courses, exhibitions, group meetings, seminars, and conferences

THE NEXT THING RICHARD IS DOING WITH MESOMOCO CIC is to build a massively multi-player social adventure game based on the stylings of a dark graphic novel ... with anti-stigma, and anti-bullying messafges built into the plot ... underpinned by the new Elgg social networking infrastructure. This is how MESOMOCO CIC is going to start to become self-sustaining, and self-funding ... but funding is required to get this project off the ground ... the project that will see MESOMOCO CIC become independent of external funding...

BUT FOR NOW RICHARD NEEDS YOUR HELP TO GET MESOMOCO CIC up and running and in a position to start trading. THANKS!!! :)
