Support Group for Mums
If your child receives support in any capacity from the Learning Difficulties and Disabilities Service, there is a NEW support group running for mums with children (under 18 years) with any additional need. The aim of the group is to provide fun and enjoyable activities in a supportive and friendly environment – a chance to have some valuable ‘me’ time.
There is also a support group for single mums. This group have met up several times over the last year doing a variety of things from going out to a Greek Meal to Clay Pigeon Shooting. It has always been fun and anyone interested in joining would be very welcome.
