About us
Encompassing towns across and around the
Wokingham District, we meet on the first Tuesday of every month.
We also support each other on a
daily basis on our secure email network, on the telephone, through newsletters
and at social events.
Joining is simple and membership is open to all families - even those awaiting a diagnosis for their children are invited. There is no pressure to commit, no pressure to attend every meeting. We have a relaxed approach to meeting and sharing ideas - we often take meetings on to the pub! Just come along to any meeting, phone Julie on 0118 961 6534 or email us at peapods@peapods.org.uk.
We look forward to welcoming you.
