Availability

Workshops are run at various places throughout Wiltshire as funds permit, but we aim to run at least one workshop in each district each year. Workshops are usually run on a normal working day. The maximum number of participants in each workshop is 12.

We accept referrals for the workshops from individuals and agencies. We also promote the workshops to our existing clients. Access is on a first-come first-served basis.

Current workshop programme:

Kennet: Spring 07
West Wiltshire: TBD
North Wiltshire: TBD
South Wiltshire: the Freedom Programme will be run in collaboration with NCH

Further support

To make it easier for women with young children to attend we aim to have creche facilities at the venue, and we may be able to help with transport costs.

Other agencies

Other agencies that wish to run their own Making Changes workshop can get support and the workshop manual from Splitz.
