GETTING TOGETHER: A GUIDE TO SETTING UP AND RUNNING A SUPPORT GROUP
Alison Richards, Family Rights Group
ISBN 187151553X, £5
Star Rating: 3/5
This short booklet is a useful first port of call for anyone interested in setting up a support group. It is aimed at those caring for another person’s child – primarily grandparents.
The booklet contains do’s and don’ts boxes, which will serve as reminders to budding group leaders. Particularly useful are the sections on considering the aims of the group, and information on publicity and the media.
What I felt was missing was the use of real examples or anecdotes from those who have set up a group. This would have brought alive this practical guide.
