There are approximately 380 members in our branch, ranging in age from babies to adults. The branch is run by a committee of parent volunteers who meet once a month to discuss the running and organisation of our branch. We provide a range of services, classes, therapies and activities for all age groups. All of these are organised by parent volunteers.
