New Project
Personal Assistance – Maintaining our Dignity & Independence.
At this years AGM/Conference, we were delighted to launch our brand new Project.
This project will be running for the next two years and is being led by members of the Society Board. Firstly there will be webinars lead by experts which Thalidomiders from around the world are invited to attend. Three members recorded short videos showcasing their experiences of either using or moving to a place of planning or needing support of Personal Assistance. Rosie Moriarty-Simmonds also kindly did a short Q’nA. A workshop followed in the afternoon with attendees discussing their experiences and needs, from this the project team have been after to plan for the upcoming year. We would also like to thank Jackie Hallawell and Ed Freeman. Information will be regularly shared here and on our Facebook page.
The Society has a closed FaceBook page that all Thalidomiders are invited to join. Just contact us via the FB page answer a couple of questions and you too can join over 300 members who come together to share information and support each other.
Our Newsletter The Independence is now produced three times a year, if you are not receiving your copy email infor@thalidomidesoceity.org. We like to send via email, but can send via mail if needed.
