What a fantastic meeting last night at our AGM, thank you to all those who turned up and made our last meeting of the year so great. There will be so much more happening next year including the introduction of our new parent/carer Toddler group which should be ready to open in January, Thank you to those parents who have volunteered their time to help make this happen – I will be contacting you soon…. Special thanks to Claire from Edge inclusion who came to talk to the group about how they can help with the new EHC Plans. They can help with filling in the documentation, attending meetings with you and fully supporting you through the transitions of the new EHC Plans. See details below.
We are also looking at holding a Christmas get together so if there are any parents out there who would like to help please get in touch.
