About our Workshops

We run regular face to face and online workshops with expert speakers, for parents of Disabled young people.

The workshops, which are run in Richmond and Hounslow boroughs by our Family Matters, SEND Advice and Bright Futures services, aim to provide parents and carers with information, practical strategies and support on a variety of subjects.

We cover anything from behavioural challenges, navigating the SEND legal system and health and social care pathways to supporting mental health and anxiety in our young people. We always welcome input from our clients on the subjects that would be most helpful.

Workshops are charged at £5 per parents or carer or £10 for professionals.  All funds raised from the workshops will go towards hiring high quality speakers and appropriate venues for future sessions.
