That this House congratulates the Gloucester Clubhouse on its work for adults with severe and enduring mental ill health; supports the vocational, educational and social services provided by clubhouses throughout Britain; notes that many of the core beliefs and functions of Clubhouse are mentioned in the recent report on Mental Health and Social Exclusion by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister; recognises that clubhouses will be able to provide even better services if they have greater funding and support from central Government and local authorities; and calls on the Government to work with the National Clubhouse Association and individual clubhouses to ensure that modernising mental health services remains a priority.
