Hello, thank you to all of you who were able to make our monthly pain support group meeting today!

A big special thanks to our lovely local Yoga Breathing Therapist Leanne ❤️
It was great to see you all!

We send gentle hugs and love to those of you who are poorly or had other appointments and couldn't make today ❤️

Our next meeting is on Wednesday 10th December between 11-12 pm. The speaker will be Julie Camburn from "The Stroke Association". We are looking forward to hearing what Julie has to say.

We do need to pay for the hire of the hall, so we ask for £1 for unlimited refreshments and biscuits (sometimes cakes 😋) and £1 for our monthly raffle.
£2 per month is all we ask, thank you.

We also are having a Christmas (no, not that word yet!) Bring and Share get together on Wednesday 17th December at Ash Scout Hall between 12-2pm.

Have a think about food and drinks, you can either make or buy something to share! If you are coming and would like to contribute something please could you let us know by the beginning of December. Thank you 😊

Gentle hugs 💜
From us all at Ash Chronic Pain Support Group

I have many friends, online and in real life but as I get older, I have realised the true friends that I can count on one hand. Thank you (you know who you are) for being one of those friends.
Quality is better than quantity in more ways than one. 💜
