JanetteTurner

Hi, my name is Janette.

I joined TALK 4 years ago as a volunteer when I retired as an independent advocate.

I have spent many years in the voluntary sector advocating for adults with mental health, learning disabilities, complex needs and acquired brain injuries such as stroke.  I welcomed the opportunity of joining TALK where I hoped I could use my communication skills to the full.  Since joining TALK I look forward to every week with our members and have come to appreciate the fantastic job that the groups do in providing a safe stimulating environment where our members flourish.

In November I was accepted as a trustee in the hope that I could support this valuable charity to grow and in time support more members.
