Online sessions will be hosted by our fantastic volunteers

We are absolutely delighted to be able to bring you a new service from our wonderful volunteers who are going to be offering parent-to-parent support groups via Zoom. These ICAP FamilyNet events will be set up for parents in age groups so that the support is relevant to your journey with PWS.

The groups will be hosted by the following:
  • New diagnosis - Maggie Rowley (staff member and lead for new diagnosis)
  • 0-3 yrs - Sue Newton and Andrea Graham
  • 4-8 yrs - Jo Hiscoks and Claire Krajewski
  • 8-12 yrs - Helen Bailey and Nathalie Charlton
  • Teens and young adults - Linda Jenkinson and Sarah Howard Jones
  • Adults - Jill Lovell and Lynda McLean
  • Complex needs (any age) - Carol Marshall and Pamela Parker

We will be announcing details of each Zoom meeting and profiling our fantastic volunteers on social media channels over the coming weeks.
