August 2010
A reminder to everyone that we do not hold a meeting in August due to holidays etc.

Wrexham Neurological Alliance
meets in the Guildhall every month. 
This has gone from strength to strength in the last year. About 20 people on average attend the monthly meetings in the Guildhall. These are mainly representatives of the Neurological Charities in Wrexham but also include individuals with neurological conditions and their carers. A network of contacts with other Alliances has been established across North Wales with the help of the Wales Neurological Alliance, Wrexham County Borough Council and AVOW. We meet at approximately 2 monthly intervals to exchange ideas and information. It's early days yet but hopefully this will become a useful tool to influence various organisations.
