The Family Partnership Team (Tracy and Glynis) would like to thank all parents/carers who attended the Coffee Morning at Ashdale today.
A big thank you to Deb Hill (OT) and Sarah Donnelley (Speech and Language) for supporting our parents and offering advice and guidance.
It has been so long since we have been able to ‘get together’ and this morning has shown how important it is to be able to meet with other parents / carers, share stories and support each other.
We gathered lots of information from you this morning (eg: workshops you may be interested in and areas which you would like more information), and we will be looking into everything we discussed.
Thanks again, and please remember, you are amazing and doing a fantastic job under some, often, very difficult circumstances.
See you all soon
Tracy and Glynis
Your Invitation! Briardale House
