🌿 Healthy Parent Carer Programme – Booking Now Open! 🌿

Limited spaces available.

We’re so pleased to share that SSIF has been accredited to deliver a brand-new 6-week programme dedicated entirely to your health and wellbeing. 💚

As parent carers, you spend so much time looking after everyone else. This programme is a chance to focus on you — to breathe, recharge, and connect with others who truly understand your journey.

✨ Starts Monday 26th January 2026
Only 14 spaces are available to keep the group supportive and personal.
Over the 6 weeks (with a break for half-term), we’ll explore ways to:
💛 Make time for yourself
💛 Connect with other parent carers
💛 Learn simple self-care and stress-management strategies
💛 Prioritise your own wellbeing
💛 Find a little more calm and balance

Our sessions are run for Parent Carers, by Parent Carers — a safe, understanding space where your wellbeing really matters.

☕ Tea, coffee and biscuits are provided, and there’s an onsite café at the Civic Centre.
🚗 Parking can be limited, so please allow extra time if you're driving.
👶 To help you truly switch off and focus on yourself, babies and children can’t be accommodated during the course.

📣 Helpful New Resource for Families!

The Lighthouse Child Development Centre has created a super-handy contact sheet with all their key phone numbers in one place — ASD, OT, physio, speech and language, and specialist health visitors.

It’s an easy resource you can save to your phone, screenshot, or even pin to the fridge for quick access whenever you need it.

A small thing that we hope makes life just a little bit easier for our parent carers. 💙
