FORTNIGHTLY WEDNESDAY "DROP IN" MEETINGS
Every two weeks we hold an informal Zoom event for people in our network ‘family’ who would like to say hello, share news, exchange ideas, get something off your chest, and just check in with each other. It’s also a good way for people new to the network to get to know us and explore what we can offer.
All meetings are on Wednesday mornings from 9am to 10am.
We look forward very much to seeing you in the coming weeks,
Very best wishes,
Caroline Slocock and Steve Wyler
