7th October 2008
Helen Ambrey from the Elizabeth Finn Care will giving a talk to the group. The Trust helps people of all ages who struggle to cope with a life in poverty due to, or made worse by, long term physical or mental illness, family breakdown, bereavement or redundancy - and older people on inadequate pensions.
We have monthly meetings which provide an environment where you can meet new people and share experiences. We hope that the friendly atmosphere of the group will help reduce the social isolation sometimes experienced by those affected by a brain injury.
All meetings are held from 6.00 pm to 8.00 pm at Gateshead Carer’s Association, 11 Regent Terrace, Gateshead, NE8 1LU (opposite the Gateshead Civic Centre) on the first Tuesday of every month.
