Hello everyone,

I hope you are having lovely weather in your area. Here in Wellington, it seems to be switching between summer and winter every second day!

We are winding up to the end of the year here at CCI Support. Over the end of December and January we will have reduced services, with no in-person meetings available, as we use the time to plan for the year ahead. However, there are still plenty of resources available. Remember to check out our past Monthly Member Meetings, and the “Resources”’ tab on our website.

Our Facebook page is always there, and our members are an amazing resource for tips and tricks. You are always welcome to post a question, or just talk about a ‘glimmer’ that has made your day 😊. It’s also a great way to connect with members in your area, or with others who have similar interests. Remember not to private message people unless you have asked or if they have agreed to it first.

Christmas can be a wonderful time to connect, but it can also be a difficult time. If you need to have a chat with someone, there are some wonderful resources out there:
