What we do / Family support groups
Family support groups
Weekly groups for parents and carers who want company and practical advice.
Our family support groups give parents and carers a relaxed space to meet others in a similar situation. Sessions run in community halls across the area and are open to anyone, with no need to book in advance.
A trained family worker is at every session and can offer guidance on things like managing behaviour, sleep or the early years, alongside plenty of time for children to play and parents to talk. Tea, coffee and snacks are provided.
Many parents tell us the biggest benefit is simply meeting other families going through the same stage of life. Several of our groups have grown into informal friendship circles that carry on well beyond the session itself.
