covering the Weymouth area
The Bridporters Group are in Bridport. They say ‘Hello. We are a group of
people who meet every month to talk about things that are important to us like:
living independently, transport costs, our health and jobs. We raise money for our
group by doing a sponsored walk every September. We also received some money
from West Dorset Mencap to help us pay for the room where we meet in Bridport.
The Bridporters enjoy going out for a meal and playing skittles.’
