Carers’ Launch Event

March 1st, 2016

We wanted to thank Karen Harwood of the South Tees NHS Trust for inviting us to attend their Carers Launch event.
The launch was held in the Atrium of James Cook University Hospital on Monday 8 February 2016 and enabled local charities and other organisations to promote their carers services.
The event also enabled hospital and other NHS staff to learn more about the important and valuable community support services that are available to their patients and their families.
Our stand had many visitors and it was lovely to see so much interest in what we are offering. A warm “hello and thank you” to all the lovely people we met on the day.
We were able to hand out many of our leaflets and there was much interest in our new Brain Injury Group for Parents and our new animated film that explains acquired brain injury and its complex effects to children and young people.
You can next see us out and about at the Parents for Change Information Day on Thursday 24 March 2016, being held at Middlesbrough Sports Village on Marton Road between 10:00 am and 2:00 pm.

Why not pop along to see us!
