Splinter Group is run by a group of young people for people with SpLDs (specific<br />
learning differences) aged 16 years and over who live in Northumberland. The group<br />
is run and managed by the young people, with support and help from Northumberland<br />
Community Development Network, who also offer one <strong>to</strong> one support.<br />
Splinter offers group sessions around the county, peer support, social events,<br />
workshops and having a say on issues that affect their members. Waffling On is a<br />
social enterprise run by the group which takes a waffle-making stall <strong>to</strong> markets and<br />
employers fairs <strong>to</strong> raise funds and raise awareness about SpLDs with employers and<br />
the public. The group is always looking for new places <strong>to</strong> run the waffle stall. Group<br />
members can also run awareness-raising training for anyone who wants <strong>to</strong> hear about<br />
SpLDs, from people who have direct experience of them.<br />
Splinter holds group sessions at CVABV (address above) on Fridays between 12<br />
and 2.30pm. They offer support for employment, accredited learning, projects and<br />
activities, and are happy <strong>to</strong> run sessions anywhere in the county where there is interest.<br />
Splinter is planning <strong>to</strong> start up a group in Alnwick. Please contact them for more details<br />
about their work and how <strong>to</strong> join the group.<br />
