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.
