Friendship
Posted 17th March 2021
During our Thursday Group discussion, Claire described some of the most important friendships she has made since joining Dyscover.
This photo includes 3 friends she made when she first joined Dyscover. It was taken in 2006 and includes Frances (SLT) Trish (Member) and Mike (member/volunteer). They were visiting Parliament to lobby for improved funding for Aphasia Support. Claire said she enjoyed recalling this occasion and the time spent with her friends on such an important mission.
Frances and Mike continue to support Dyscover from afar and Trish continues as a regular member at our weekly groups.
