Meetings for 2009-2010
Please note that Hilltop meetings are not now always 4th Monday of the month
Once a quarter, usually on the second Monday of the month, we will meet at St Matthew's Parish Rooms, St Matthew's Street, Cambridge. We will have a speaker on a relevant subject or a discussion about a particular need members have identified. There are refreshments from 7.30pm for an 8pm start. For a map of St Matthew's, click here.
Every month, usually on the fourth Monday, our meetings will be at Hilltop Day and Carers' Centre, Primrose Street. There, we hold smaller groups where people with MD and carers share experiences and offer each other support. There are refreshments from 7.30pm for a 7.45pm start. For a map of Hilltop, click here
According to demand we will have social activities from time to time.
Our aim is always to be relaxed and informal and people tell us there is a welcoming atmosphere. We take a positive approach to life with the condition and the MDF offers many ways to manage the condition successfully.
Literature is sometimes on display to buy and browse. You are welcome to just turn up at a meeting or get in touch with us first as you wish.
