The programme will follow similar lines to previous years and include three sessions of workshops. We would like to encourage all delegates young and old to attend all or some of these workshops. There will be a variety of topics. The smaller groups means that everyone can select a subject relevant to their own situation.

Please notify the MDSG on the Young Adults booking form of any special needs. If you wish to discuss these sessions prior to booking please contact Elycia Ormandy on 0161 445 5844.
