Each meeting features an aspect of current disability issues in Shropshire. The meetings are led by our Chair Sonia Roberts and followed with a guest speaker/s presentation.
Our speakers have been selected to enthuse and inform. The topics are varied, with plenty of opportunity to ask questions and raise points for discussion. Your views are very welcome and much sought after to inform the way Shropshire Disability Network provides for you. You might think the disability topics discussed aren’t specifically relevant to you, but we are confident that you will be surprised by how inspirational our speakers can be.
