Striving to push bounderies and create oppotunities across all 3 of our day centres across Peterborough & Wisbech. The Helping Hands Group was founded in 2011 on the back of (at that point) 23 years experience in this field by Suzanne Gilby. Suzanne previously spent 11 years managing the largest deafblind Education Centre in the UK before setting up her own service, making communication (in all fo
rms) one of the Groups benefits.
