Summer Community Fun days

During August our Families First Development Team participated in various community events to promote the website and self-help support for families. We attended a summer community event in Turnford organised by B3 Living and the Hatfield community event, where we were joined by the Welwyn Hatfield Intensive Family Support Team, who were kept very busy with glitter tattoos. HCC Reuse Centre kindly donated some toys and gifts for us to run a free lucky dip, which was a big hit and we were kept entertained with great music from Electric Umbrella!

Below are a few photos from the Hatfield event:-

Our Intensive Family Support Teams organised various fun days, bringing together the children, young people, and families they support. Which you can read more about here.

Finally, don't forget to take a look through our Learning and Development articles to see what is available for you and your teams. Along with our local news pages.

We hope you enjoy this edition of Families First News and please encourage your teams to sign up to receive their own copy!
