HELP REQUIRED FOR HONOURS PROJECT
One of our new volunteers, Claire Brotherton, is doing a computing Honours project at university. She aims to build a web app or a mobile app to help people with AS/HFA enhance their social skills. She is looking for Number 6 service users to help with her research by answering a short questionnaire on social skills and technology. She’ll be bringing in questionnaires this coming Saturday (4th February), or alternatively you can email her at 04013520@live.napier.ac.uk for more information.
This Saturday we will be going to see Journey 2: The Mysterious Island at Fountainpark. The film starts at 1pm so we aim to have a quick lunch and leave Number 6 at 12.10pm. Tickets cost approximately £8, you may want extra money for drinks or snacks. See you all on Saturday.
