Visit: Treloar's Trust  - Claire Major:       2 July 05 at 11.30am

Becoming independent is challenging for most young people.
It can be especially challenging for physically disabled young people disadvantaged by the way others see them and the design and delivery of education, work, accommodation, leisure and public services.

Treloar's ‘Moving On' in the community project is a new project in Lewisham, designed to work with physically disabled people who want to make changes to their lives.
We have a small team, who work with individuals on specific, short-term goals. There is no cost for the support so come and learn more.

Visit: SABRE  - Stephen Parr MBE:         9 July 05 at 10.30am (prompt start!!)

Sabre specialises in supporting socially inclusive employment solutions through the successful recruitment, retention, and development of disabled people.

Come along and learn more. Please be on time as Stephen Parr has limited time.

'Friends of Cyber zone' are a casual group of people, whose common link is that they are parents or carers of people who use CyberZone.
With the summer coming, certain amongst us wish to make use of  this relationship to strengthen the bonds between those who use CyberZone and have also have a fun day out.

Providing there is sufficient interest, significant savings can be made to the cost of transport by us travelling as a group. 
However this is only achievable if you are prepared to commit to support the event.  Friends of CyberZone propose to get all interested parties together and hire a bus to take us to Legoland. 
Once there you and your family will be free to spend the day as you wish.

If you are interested in being a part of this event please sign below. 
However please note that all persons travelling on the bus will do so at their own risk, and must ensure they have adequate insurance cover. 
'The Friends of CyberZone' has no legal status, and no liability will be accepted either for breach of any express or implied contractual duty or duty of care.
