Transferring face to face contact to telephone contact

MY LIFE, MY CHOICE!
Thistle YP is launching a new and exciting event called MY LIFE, MY CHOICE! aimed at 15-20yr olds with additional support needs. The event is a large scale event with Robert S. Gale hosting a panel of young disabled adults who are going to share their lived experiences of moving on from school into adult life and how they have achieved their dreams in a fun and engaging way! Please see flyer attached.
The event is on the 11th of March at Norton Park conference centre (57 Albion Road, Edinburgh, EH7 5QY) from 4.30-7.30pm with a buffet dinner being served at 6pm. There will also be representatives from organisations that will be available for the second half of the evening to give advice and information to the families that attend.
Our hope is that young people with additional support needs will be BOTH inspired by our panel and equipped by the organisation reps.
The event is ticketed through Eventbrite and although free the tickets are limited so if you want to book a place for you & your son/daughter, please click on this link. https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/my-life-my-choice-registration-90924895811?aff=ebdssbeac
