Community Forum (Supported by The Parent Network) - Family support services
What we do
The Community Forum will support people to have their voices heard in their community by encouraging them to contribute to discussions and consultations about local issues and the development of local services that may affect their lives. It also gives individuals the opportunity to meet others in their local community through supportive weekly group meetings where they can learn new skills and gain volunteering experience.
Activities are tailored to meet the needs of the group and may include
wellbeing, digital literacy support, cookery and sewing classes, craft
workshops, outdoor activities and qualifications and skills for employment.
Individuals will also have the opportunity to register and train as a Community Champion, supporting families in their local community
with appropriate information and signposting to local services.
