New Phone and Online Groups in North East Wales
We are pleased to announce we have launched new virtual and telephone support groups. Starting with groups in North East Wales.
Meetings will be held monthly, and it is simple to join – either by dialling in by telephone or by simply clicking a link. The virtual groups will be local to you so you can meet people in your own local community. There is no set agenda, just an opportunity to chat.
If you would like some advice about accessing the group online please get in touch on the number below and our Community Development Worker Nia will be happy to talk to you more about the groups.
Once you’ve registered your interest all of the details will be sent to you in advance of the meeting in either print or by email. To register your interest or for further information please get in touch by telephone: 07548 829635 or Email Nia at ngreer@visionsupport.org.uk.
