Welcome to XR
Hello and Welcome!
You may have been motivated to join us because you've decided that you must take action now. Or maybe you want to find out more before becoming involved. Still, we know that taking that first step can be a challenge. Thank you for being here.
Within XR we acknowledge that our increasing awareness of what we're all facing can be very difficult. For many of us, making connections with others experiencing the same thing helps hugely; we are not alone anymore. Joining in, and trying to be part of the solution, is empowering and liberating. Action brings hope.
However XR is a family with lots of support available when it’s needed. You can find these resources in a number of places, but the chapter of this book 'Our Culture - care and respect' is a good place to start.
Live Welcome to XR talks on zoomZoom
The talk takes place every Tuesday evening from 7-8.30pm. You're warmly invited to stay until 9pm as we allow 30 minutes for questions and discussions after the session.
