  • Coffee & Chat (9 July)

    • Coffee & Chat is a drop-in style coffee morning for parent carers, with bookable one-to-one consultations with a professional running alongside it.

      This month, we’ll be joined by the Community Continence Team.  Get the support you need by booking a 20-minute consultation with the team to discuss any issues or concerns you have regarding your child’s toileting. Book your slot here 

      If you just want to attend the general coffee morning, you don’t need to book. Just turn up, and you’ll receive a warm welcome from our peer support team.
