National Helpline 01223 846845
Do you have concerns or worries that you would like to talk to someone about?
Our telephone helpline, as part of our national support services, normally operates 9.00am to 7.00pm Monday to Saturday
If you get no reply please leave your name and number and we shall attend to your call as soon as possible.
If you have a question or issue that is best in writing, please write to our Head Office who will try to find an appropriate person to answer it.
All the people who answer our helplines have been patients or carers so are likely to understand your concerns because they have been there.

News from the Area
A couple of years ago Shirley Brooks asked me for a collection container. She had started up a U3A Bridge Club and members were making a donation each time they met. We visited Shirley in January to empty the container, which held £171. Our thanks go to Shirley, Paul, Stella, Ray and Vera for their kind donations.
We held our AGM and New Year Social on 8th February. Your Committee remains the same: Jane Gilbert – Social Secretary; Ray Howell – Treasurer; Chris Howell – Secretary.
Our next meeting is on 19th July: Strawberries and Cream Evening.
By the time you read this we will have had an excellent meal at the Toby Carvery on 19th March, we hope – as long as horsemeat is not on the menu – but could we tell the difference?
Our next meal is on 28th May and I will continue to assume that all those who normally attend will be coming. If you cannot make the meal or wish to bring a friend, please let me know as soon as possible so I can change the numbers if necessary.
Our Christmas Lunch will be on 6th December 2013 at the Bromley Court Hotel – do not forget to write this on your Calendar. Christmas talk already: what happened to summer!
