Informal Zoom Discussion Group
The Kangaroo Club's next informal Zoom discussion group is on Tuesday 19th May 2026 at 8:00 p.m.
All with a pouch, or an interest in pouches (including those considering surgery and supporters of anyone either with a pouch or considering a pouch), are welcome to attend. The discussions are relaxed and informal, led by what those attending want to discuss - sometimes this is a specific issue and sometimes it is just a chat with people who really know what it’s like.
