Accessing Parents in the community
Parenting Matters is committed to assisting parents in the community. We are working with a variety of organisations to benefit parents.
Dingley Centres in Wokingham, Reading and Newbury will be organising Parenting Matters workshops for parents whose children's development is a concern. We are looking forward to working with these parents in the autumn.
Winnersh Parish Council will also be holding parent support sessions next term. We are also a series of one-day seminars for grandparents at Reading University. Parenting Matters would be delighted to work wtih councillors and surgeries and other networks exposed to parents. Please contact us if you would like to explore partnering Parenting Matters with your organisation.
Parent Focus Groups
We would like to involve parents in reflecting on our current practice to help us develop services which are relevant to them. If you are interested in meeting three times a year to participate in discussions focussing on specific parenting questions in an informal atmosphere, please contact info@parentingmatterstrust.org
