Allsorts
Parents &
Carers
Allsorts Parents & Carers activities run
during term time for anyone who cares
for a child with disabilities
Parent and Carer sessions
Friday mornings, 10am-12pm, weekly
during term time.
Venues and activities may vary – see
e-bulletin for weekly updates.
Allsorts parents and carers get together on
Friday mornings for: coffee morning dropins;
sports activities; meeting up at the
Allsorts Toy Library; information sessions
and guest speakers.
This is a great way to meet up with others
for mutual support or to try something
new, share information and friendship.
You can talk to our Parent Carer Coordinator,
Clarissa Maidment, about
Allsorts activities as well as many other
organisations that might be of help or
interest to you.
See details in the diary dates and Allsorts
weekly e-bulletin and feel free to drop
into a session or contact Clarissa for
more info. We vary venues and are
open to suggestions, so please say if
there is something you would like to
do or a place you would like to meet.
