Our Family Tree Group has been meeting regularly over the past 2 years to discover their own past and find out more about where they came from.

The group members are now equipped with new friends, skills, and opportunities to continue their own journeys. For now, we have said our goodbyes and sent our best wishes to all members of the group! We hope this part of your family tree journey has been interesting, entertaining, informative and most of all, rewarding for you.

We look forward to restarting this group project again in the future for even more caregivers to get involved!
