“ I’m concerned about the isolation of young people who can’t talk and the fact that non-disabled young people hardly ever meet their peers who can’t talk.” Maresa MacKeith
HobNobs group meet once a month, right now ages range between 12 -18 years. Activities depend on who comes and what they like to do, we hang out, play games, play pool, darts and football, go for walks and go to cafes.
