Our Monthly Parent Carer Coffee & Cake Mornings:
Time for a cuppa and a cake!
Come along to our next Parent Carer Social Group and find out more about services that can support you and your family.
The sessions are informal and a great opportunity for you to meet other Parent Carers. (Your child does not need to have a diagnosis to attend the group).
Just come along to the Adult Carers Clubhouse, 18 Cotham St Helens WA10 1SJ (Opposite the St Helens Town Hall) anytime between 10am – 12pm on the last Thursday of the month.
From time to time, we will invite guest speakers in to speak about their service they offer so that you are more aware of what is available in the borough.
The next group will be on Thursday 30th May 2024.
