Wimbledon January Group Meeting

We had a positive start to the new year in January’s Wimbledon meeting. All attendees individually reflected on the positives and challenges from 2014 in order to capture and acknowledge the range of achievements. This led onto a motivational goal setting session for 2015 which finished with the motto ” I can and I will” !

Group members shared their experiences and hopefully are all ready to start working towards those goals.
