The FASD Trust has a support group in Bristol, but the lady who used to host it was taken ill so had to stop. The Trust is therefore re-sorting this - if you want to volunteer to help, drop a line to familysupport@fasdtrust.co.uk and they will give details of the venue etc

Hello. We live just outside Bristol and would like to be involved in getting things re started with you guys. Don't feel confident to do it only so would be great to link up.

That would be great. If I send you my mobile / email via personal message - is this ok with this form ? Am so happy to hear back from you. Hope we can get the group going as I have been wanting this for a while now. I do know one Mum I can tell for sure as we met previously last year.

our little girl is 8 months old and has been diagnosed so we are new to all this too

but it does seem we are all in the same boat in the uk!!!! so the more of us on this mission the better hopefully we can learn and support each other
