HOW TO RAISE MONEY AND CLEAR YOUR CLUTTER! Rhys Television are looking for participants for a forthcoming programme on BBC 1.
If you suffer from clutter, but don’t’ have the time or capacity to clear it effectively, a team of people will come to help you de-clutter your house, and then they will sell the unwanted items for you. The money they raise will be split 50/50 between you and your favourite charity (which we would hope would be us!)
Interested? Then contact Sophie Gault at Rhys Televison (020-7836 8595
Have you been to any of our meetings? We have had excellent feedback about our open meetings. We are told how much parents, teachers and even the few children who come along, enjoy the informative talks. Equally valued is the informal time afterwards, over a relaxing coffee or tea. This is the time to swap stories and get not only mutual support, but access to a range of professionals too. Many a problem has been sorted out at this time. Do you have any ideas for future speakers? Would you like a different sort of meeting? And what time of day and day of the week would you like it to be? We would love to hear from you all! This is YOUR association. Please do make use of it. Any comments to: Dyslexia Association of BBGL, Community House, South Street, Bromley, Kent BR1 1RH.
