Future Focus Coffee Morning

For parents and carers of people with a learning disability and autistic people


The Twisting Ducks Theatre Company are working on an issue-based performance and film exploring how families prepare for the future. The project will focus on housing and support when family members are no longer in a person’s life, or become unable to carry out their caring role.


We are looking for parents and carers to share their views so we can better understand:

How do families prepare for the future?

What are the barriers? What would help?


Future Focus: Coffee morning

Friday 25th September, 10am – 12pm

Parents and carers are invited to join us at an informal coffee morning to share views and experiences around planning for the future. Complimentary hot drinks and cake will be provided.

Wallsend Library, 16, The Forum, Wallsend
