FRONTLINEdance: a FREE resource for you based at ST JOHN’S CENTRE, Newcastle

FRONTLINEdance is an artist led company based in Stoke-on-Trent, placing
disabled people and those with long-term health conditions at the core of
our organisation as leaders, dancers, artists, and audiences.

The group was originally formed to help those affected by cancer. They have received funding from the S.O.T. & N.S. Clinical Commissioning group to run a community movement group for adults who have been affected by Cancer.

Jackie was contacted by Macmillan, who were in turn contacted by FRONTLINEdance. I’m sharing this on the webpage so as to reach a wider audience. Here’s some more info:

October Meeting, and plans for Eric in December

We had a well attended meeting this month, with 17 of us, including a new friend, gathered at the Legion Club. A full round of introductions took place, with a great deal of celebration for how many cancer free years each patient had achieved.

We were very pleased to have two specialist nurses present, including Wendy who only retired fully quite recently. Wendy was the founder of the Headcases group many years ago, and it’s great she took time to keep in touch with us all.

Following on from the success of our visit to the New Vic in August we are now planning to go again in December to see ‘Eric’s Christmas Turkey’. Current plan is for the evening show on 1st December. Around 16 of us are currently intending to go. Fred will book up a block of tickets, so if you fancy coming along, please let Fred or myself know as soon as you can. Please be aware that Headcases won’t be covering the ticket costs this time, so keep an eye on this site for updates on prices and concessions etc. Click on the picture below for all the info…

The December gathering will take place at 19.30 at the Legion, with the usual fun and games including food and a raffle. We encourage members to bring along friends and family to make it a memorable night.
