GBSSG Bursaries 2008

The GBSSG has been awarded a grant from AT&T which is to be used to give young sufferers of GBS and CIDP the opportunity to attend our annual conference in April. The National Executive Committee would like to offer such persons the opportunity to apply for a bursary to attend.

Applicants may be accompanied by one other, be it a partner, friend, parent or carer. The bursary will include two nights' bed and breakfast accommodation, conference fees, lunch and dinner on Saturday, and a contribution towards travel costs. Successful applicants will have time to meet people in their own age group and an itinerary will be available to offer them chance to network and discuss those issues important to their peer group.

Our conference is to be held at the four-star Dunkenhalgh Hotel, Clayton-le-Moors near Blackburn in Lancashire on Saturday 26 April 2008. We anticipate that successful applicants will arrive on the previous afternoon and depart on Sunday morning. Details of the conference and hotel can be read here.

The Committee hopes that young people will take up this opportunity and looks forward to receiving applications.
