Advocacy attends TAASC Event
On Thursday 9th March our Advocacy Team attended a TAASC event.
This was a chance for people to hear about the adult care services being provided in Croydon and to help develop services by sharing your ideas and experiences with the decision-makers.
Advocacy provided a stand at the event to offer information on our service and Mind in Croydon.
