LINk Monthly Meeting

This month saw the LINk visited by the George Hardwick Foundation.  Sally Bemrose, LINk Governing Body member, and her colleage Jacqui McHardy, gave a presentation on the services offered by the North East Lincolnshire Carers Centre.

It was a very interesting and informative talk which gave a real insight into the life of carers and the services which exist to support them.  To check out the presentation, click here.

Guide Dog steals the show at LINk meeting

When Rachael Allison from the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association came to the monthly LINk meeting on Tuesday 19th July 2011 to give her presentation, she brought a friend with her.  Taya, a black Labrador, had no shortage of admirers and won over the LINk members in no time at all.

Our very special guest was just a hint of the meeting in store for them, Rachael gave a fascinating and engaging talk, involving her audience in the subject.  As Taya roamed the hall, giving everyone a chance to stroke her, Rachael blindfolded volunteers and passed around glasses that simulated sight problems.  She quizzed the group and got them voting fact or fiction on common misconceptions.
