This group is on hold at the moment. Contact GOLD if you’d like more information.
GOLD Group meets every Thursday, from 1pm to 3pm, at Royal Victoria Pavilion in Ramsgate. The group provides the opportunity for people with a learning difficulty to:
- meet new people,
- find out what's happening in their local area,
- talk about the things that are important to them,
- get information and advice about any concerns they may have, and
- take part in workshops designed to develop their knowledge and skills.
To date, topics of discussion have ranged from leading a healthy lifestyle to understanding rights. Local organisations that have provided workshops include Thanet Volunteer Bureau, Kent Community Health NHS Trust, Kent Police, Jigsaw, Kent Fire & Rescue Service and Learning Disability England.
For more information, contact us via email, or phone 0845 004 1876.
