Places are going fast for The New Forest Gateway Award sessions which will re-start on Tuesday 10 September 2019 from 4.30 – 6.30 pm. If you would like to share recipe ideas and craft projects and try some games aimed at improving memory, literacy and numeracy why not come along? Please give us a call on 01425 621893 so we can make sure there is a space.

New Forest Mencap has recently commissioned research into the effects of caring for adults with learning disabilities on the parents/carers as they become older themselves.  New Forest Mencap will be hosting an event to disseminate the findings of this research into our local communities so do check back for further information.  In the meantime, here is the link to this important paper https://www.bath.ac.uk/announcements/looming-crisis-for-family-carers-of-people-with-learning-disabilities/
