Support Group

As a group we meet up on the first Tuesday of each month at different venues around the county. These are very informal events and open to all members and their families. We usually start at 2pm and free refreshments are provided. This is an opportunity to meet up with others on a similar journey to just chat, swap tips, have a giggle, ask questions or seek advice. Please see poster below for 2024 dates and locations:
