Hope we're all keeping safe (and dry) in this stormy weather!

Bit of the end of an era for our Music in Mind session up at the Bolton Wanderers in the Community (BWitC) Hub up at the Toughsheet. After 3 very successful years the Thursday afternoon session is having to move as the Hub is no longer available to us at the time we need. This weeks session will be the last at the BWitC Hub

From Thursday 5th November we will be at our new venue St John’s Methodist Church, Victoria Road, Horwich BL6 5PU. The church has ample free parking. The sessions will continue at the usual time of 1.30pm for a 2pm start. If anyone has any ideas about a new venue (ideally free or very cheap!) do get in touch.

A huge thanks to Dr Maggie Ellis and everyone else who made last week's Adaptive Communication workshop such a success. Over 50 people came to hear an informative and sometimes challenging presentation as well as contributing our own lived experience. Particular thanks to our friends at Harwood Methodist Church who worked so hard to set us up and ensure everything went smoothly.

We have had some less welcome news from Bolton Wanderers in the Community - we have lost our venue for the Music in MInd up at the football stadium.
