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.

10:30 – 11:30 at The Barn, Brixham

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.

This group is for babies aged 0–12 months, offering a variety of activities to support their development, with drop in feeding support available. However your feeding journey looks, you are always welcome – whether you’re looking for practical help, a listening ear, or simply a space to spend time with your baby.

Check our What’s On pages for dates and times. See you there!

Every Monday at St Edmunds.

Meet at Cantina, Goodrington

Whether you’d like an opportunity to make new friends, catch up with old ones or are looking for some information and peer support, Ramble Club’s got you covered.

Join us with your little ones for a wellbeing walk and a chance to talk as we enjoy the beautiful green and blue spaces that Torbay has to offer.
