New Additions to the Resource Centre

New resources in the Resource Centre
Several children's books written by Suzanne Berton have come in. You can also learn about being a trustee for a Henson Trust Fund with the "Trustee Reference Manual".

You will soon be able to view pictures of many of our resources in the clinic waiting room. A digital picture frame is ready to be installed. Keep a lookout for it when visiting the second floor.

Have you ever used a digital book reader? We now have one available for you. It is a "kindle" and has been loaded up with digital books. Drop by the Resource Centre to borrow it while you wait for your clinician or doctor.
