We were one of the first branches to start our meetings online when Covid struck. Consequently, we have quite a few members we support from all over the country. Specially the areas where there are no branches. Our meetings, twice a month, usually have up to 20 or more attending. Our record is 36! We usually have a solicitor present to provide legal advice and where she is unable to attend one of our branch members who is completing his SQE and works as a McKenzie, can provide all the legal information most members need.
With so many members to help we run a number of very active WhatsApp groups which have taken the strain off the branch committee. The branch members with the support of Ian Findlay, Greg Downing and John Varguese have developed an 8-week course called Surviving Separation – Putting children first. We run it three or four times a year and have great attendance. The certificate we provide at the end of the course has had positive comments from several judges.
