Birchfield Primary School hosted a Collaborative Consultancy Day led by Voice 21 Programme Lead Meshendia Dampier, bringing together leaders and oracy champions from Westminster School, Holy Trinity, and Canterbury Cross.
Our recent Community Alliance Coffee Morning was a wonderful success, bringing parents together to share their experiences, connect with local services, and enjoy a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
Throughout the morning, parents discussed the issues that matter most to them—ranging from family wellbeing to community support—and highlighted key areas where additional guidance would make a difference in their everyday lives.
We were delighted to be joined by Compass, a mental health charity, New Hope Global, and Home Start, all of whom offered invaluable support.
-
Compass shared practical, easy-to-use strategies to help parents promote positive emotional wellbeing at home.
-
Home Start provided expert housing advice, answering questions and signposting families to further help where needed.
Beyond the information and advice, the event also offered something just as important: the chance for parents to relax, chat with one another, and build new friendships. Seeing families enjoy themselves and form new connections truly highlighted the value of coming together as a community.
Thank you to everyone who attended and to our partner organisations for their support. We look forward to hosting more events that bring our community even closer.
