Hopeful Starts

Proposed budget

GBP 18,799

Description

Our idea is an early intervention group for parents who have children with additional needs aged 0-3 years. The purpose of this group will be to reduce loneliness and isolation, improve wellbeing, and to importantly foster a sense of hope for the future. We want to provide children with disabilities the best start in life through this early support. This will be a safe place where children can play, and parents can share experiences, supporting one another. Wellbeing is also an important purpose of this project. We will provide free tea, coffee and cake during the sessions. We will also trial ideas like free massage for parents and gifts like flowers. We will work closely with local health teams; aiming to have guest professionals visit who can provide consultations. This project would run once a week, on Thursday mornings between 10- 11:30 am at Manor Park Library.

I currently work with primary school SEN children and parents would have jumped to be able to have somewhere to of brought their children pre-school! I also used to run Parent and children groups within a nursery and it was obvious which children experienced these groups before nursery! Socialising, sharing, making friends can never start early enough.. plus the parents/carers made friends and support groups sharing strategies and a cuppa! Great idea!! 🌻🌻🌻

This is such a lovely idea, for both the parents and the children - it could be so valuable!
