Annual General Meeting 2009

On Tuesday, 24 November, we held our annual general meeting at Colwyn Bay Cricket club. Over 70 people came to hear about what we had been up to over the previous year. After the usual election of committee members we had an interesting and informative presentation from Mark Richards, Conwy Council's Disability Sports Officer.

Person Centred Planning Service Update

Due to the departure of Ann Davies as PCP co-ordinator we are in the processing of recruiting to this vacancy. When somebody is in post we will ask them to put some information onto the website so you can get to know them. If you would like to receive an application pack for the post of Coordinator please contact the office.

Friendship Group ends in March 2010

The Friendship Group continues to grow from strength to strength and its numbers are now double what was projected when the Group first was commissioned nearly 2 years ago so it is with much sadness that we have to report that as from April 2010 the group will end. We are surprised as everyone else at the success of the group but from the beginning we were aware that the funding would be for 2 years only.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the Friendship Group members for their support and involvement in this valuable piece of work. At the meeting people spoke about their experiences being a member and hopes for the future of the Friendship Group.

Well we finally have received the answer we were waiting for, which was YES. Conwy Connect have been offered the use of the office space located on the groundfloor of Rivieres Avenue. We will hopefully be moving sometime in April. Just think - no more stairs to climb.

Closing the Gap

We recently completed a consultation on an action plan from Conwy County Borough Council's Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Stakeholder Learning Disability Team for people with autism. A report from the 3 days is being sent to those who attended for comments and feedback. There will be a follow up consultation sometime in the early new year. Listen out for updates on this.
