Attend our Northern Ireland Peer Support & Information Day – a free, in-person event for those navigating adulthood with a neuromuscular condition.
We’re please to invite you to our ‘Transition to Independence: Peer Support and Information Day’ in Northern Ireland – a free, in-person to help you navigate adulthood with a neuromuscular condition.
