Community Meetings 2024

Our Community Meetings are for people who have an acquired brain injury or after a major trauma injury, their families, friends and carers. They are held on the first, third and last Tuesday of the month and open to anyone who needs advice on aspects of acquired brain injury and practical advice on daily living.

Please note we do not allow children under aged 16 to attend sessions.

We cannot allow dogs unless they are registered assistance or guide dogs.

Here are all the meeting dates for 2024.
