An Invite to Our Group

Above is not an official logo, just something to catch your eye. I’m Steve & I assist at our group. Why should you go to a Support Group – simply put; it can be the patience shown by an assistant, the personalities of everyone who attends and most of all being able to talk to someone who has had similar experiences. ( It’s also worth noting that we have access to some excellent Cake Makers!!😊) Note: Rock Cakes spring to mind courtesy of Maureen.

Originally I brought my dad (as a stroke survivor) to the group some time in 2014, he has since passed away, but I personally feel that the group enriched his remaining years until he couldn’t go. I know endorsements can be hard to believe sometimes, but I was truly amazed! All the efforts from the Chairwoman to the Assistants. Of course, every now and then someone may come to the group and finds it’s not for them – so I will only endorse this recommendation : “110% I think it’s worth giving it a try, you may be pleasantly surprised.”

A final note, there are 2 other groups on this website & other groups exist that may be closer to you,
