We would like to say thank you to everyone that has been involved with Healthwatch Stockport this year. Without you we would not be able to deliver on the work that we do.
We would also like to say particular thank you's to our amazing member, Neisha, who has provided many delicious scones for various coffee mornings in the last few months, as well as our volunteer's, Pat and Michelle, who help out a tremendous amount in the office and with the running of our social media. Thank you!
