I have found a venue and will be starting a Peer to Peer group in Hitchin on the 1^st Wednesday in every month starting Wednesday 7^th March 2012

It will be held at The Canary Club (@ Hitchin Town Football Club opposite the Swimming Pool)

Times: 7pm till 9pm

1^st Wednesday of every month starting Wednesday 7^th March 2012

The Lifegeta Peer to Peer support group is aimed at people with acquired conditions (Stroke, Head Injury, Depression, MS... the list goes on & on...people needing emotional support) I aim for this group is not only to provide support from peers, but practical help such as speakers, workshops, talks all in a social setting.

This is a link to an interview I did on www.gracequantock.com talking about Lifegeta and the Peer 2 Peer group

‘I want it to be a monthly meeting that’s not only social but where people can share experiences with others that may have been through similar situations. I learnt so much myself through being with people going through similar situations to me, I’d like to be able to do offer that experience for others.

I learned a lot about myself and through self development courses, counselling, and self awareness, and confidence workshops. So I want to be able to offer those as workshops and courses to help personal growth. I truly believe that unless you are emotionally ready, then ‘fighting for you rights’ isn’t going to happen effectively.

Those who know me know I love going out (comedy clubs, theatre, pubs) but accessible venues in the Hitchin area are good but a bit sparse, so I hope to arrange a few events that are not only ‘me’ friendly but ‘everyone’ friendly’
