What’s on

THIS GROUP IS ON PAUSE AT THE MOMENT – PLEASE KEEP CHECKING FOR FUTURE RETURN DATE 

Volunteer led group at The Barn: Lonely Mums and Dads Club

Being a parent/caregiver can feel a little lonely sometimes – especially if your partner works away, you’re new to the area or it’s your first child. Lonely mums and dads club is a relaxed, friendly and inclusive group where everyone is in the same boat – navigating the ups and downs of parenthood. It’s a safe, supportive space to meet other parents, share experiences and build new friendships.

Breastfeeding peer support is also available to anyone who’d like it.

All babies and toddlers are welcome – we just ask that parents keep a close eye on their little explorers to help keep our tiniest visitors safe.

Come as you are – tired, unsure, curious, or just in need of a chat.

The Torbay Portage Service would like to offer parents and their pre-school children with additional needs an opportunity to attend a small parent and child group. It will take place each week and will be run by two Portage home visitors.

The aims of the groups are:

• To give parents opportunities to meet one another and the Portage Home Visitors.
• For parents to be able to ask questions and share support ideas.
• For children to be able to experience accessible play and learning experiences within a small group.
• For staff members to share play and learning ideas to meet young children’s needs.
