Please get in touch if you can help. The SMILE Connect team are providing amazing connection and community for lone parent families!

Do you have an old fair-style game sitting in a garage or shed? 🎯

On Saturday 4th July, we will be hosting our annual lone parent fair at St James' Church in Poole. This event is a space where families can make special memories together, connect with local support, and enjoy treats without judgement or stigma 🥰

We are looking for people who have fair games, and/or would be willing to help run them on the day🏆 Even the simplest games can create so much joy and connection. Last year, the CMA team kindly ran a penalty shoot-out, and the kids absolutely loved it! ⚽️

There are many ways to be involved, so if you can help in any way please get in touch! Contact Lucy on [email protected]
