Parent Carers Activities
SPDC like to see parent carers having a break. They provide short sessions such as advice & well-being sessions, social events, pamper treatments and craft activities. They are also able to offer individualised support to help with any challenges you may have in your caring role or life in general. These usually happen whilst your children are engaged in activities or during school hours. Click here for more information.
