Somerset Dyslexia Association

LAST month members of the Somerset Dyslexia Association enjoyed a social evening discussing issues important to them.

Specialists from the Somerset Dyslexia Association committee were there to answer queries and partners and friends were welcomed. This followed a pleasurable outing to watch the roosting starlings at Shapwick.

The next meeting will be on Thursday, March 26, at 7.30pm at The Falcon Hotel, Henlade. The group will be welcoming Simon Anderson from the Support Dogs charity. Over the last four years, Simon and his dog Fudge have attended numerous venues, talking about the life- transforming work of the charity. Support Dogs aims to enhance the lives of people with epilepsy, physical disabilities and children with Autism, by training dogs to act as efficient and safe assistants.
