Adrienne was selected to be the PPN’s consultant facilitator in 2023, working specifically with the Disability Thematic Group, the Migrant Thematic Group, and the Last Thursday of the Month Members Meet-Ups.  Adrienne joins our team of Ruth (coordinator), Rachel (support worker), Eva (work experience), and Ellenora who is working on a “how to” manual and training programme, for Representatives and Secretariat. 

We look forward to our work with Adrienne in 2023!
