Dear parents/carers, Over the last year and a half many families have lost financial support from various places because of the economic crisis we are currently living in. There are many changes taking place and lots of you are being given different information as to what you may be entitled to apply for within Stockport. Audrey Wilson, one of Independent Options service managers has had many years experience guiding families through benefits and entitlements and will be doing a session on Thursday 4th July 2013 at 9.30-12.30 to share this vital information with any of you who wish to come along. To tailor the session to cover everyone’s needs she has asked that you let her know which topics to cover (please choose two). It will also be important to know if your child has a diagnosis or not to make sure that everyone who attends will benefit from the training. These are the options for you to choose from.
