Hemihelp

CE in forthcoming awareness day for educationalists

In the recent posting on Cerebra's Cardiff conference it was suggested that the vacuum left by Scope's shift of focus to 'rights' is increasingly filled now by emerging charities. One of these is Cerebra. Another is Hemihelp.

Among its early activities, early next year Hemihelp is running a one-day awareness event:

Conference for education professionals

Birmingham and Midland Institute
