Speaker: Karen Pitchford, Crossway Pregnancy Advisory Service, East Twickenham

Mon, Jul 16th 2018 at 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm


Crossway Pregnancy Crisis Centre is located in East Twickenham and supports women and their partners when they are facing an unintended pregnancy, or are dealing with a pregnancy loss, whether through termination, miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, pre-term loss or stillbirth.
We were delighted to welcome Karen Pitchford and Anne Wallace who came along to the club to tell us about the free and confidential service they provide. It was a very interesting talk and we were pleased to be joined by visitors from other local clubs.
