Hi all right I've been trying to get this sorted for a while and even waste time on something that I thought would help me get there so it's not happened yet. Does any body live in the Chippenham area that feel they could or someone they know could benefit from a support group based in Chippenham??

sorry no, I assume you've contacted the bath headway group? which appears to be the closest? there is the issue of getting the information out to folks with Brain Injuries.

The local group I go to has four meetings once a week in different areas, each group has 15-20 folks coming but the population is huge, just over a million. I only found out by chance really. these are small groups and small budgets.

Yup it's South West london Headway, don't get me wrong you don't get speakers all the time but it's a popular and regular feature.
