Forth Valley Pandas Support Group

25/10/2026

Our MINDFUL CRAFTING group is back this Tuesday from 7.40-9.00pm in The Tryst Centre .

This is a FREE group funded and run by Forth Valley Pandas Support Group and Stenhousemuir FC Community Foundation thanks to generous support from Todhill Wind Farm.

You don’t have to be “crafty” to join us. It’s about taking some time for yourself to relax and focus on doing something a little bit different. Focusing on a new craft can help you to shut out some of the more stressful parts of life - even if it’s just for an hour.

If you manage to create something useful or beautiful that’s a bonus. Tea, coffee, biscuits and chat! What’s not to love?

If you would like to join us please DM. 🧶🧵👩‍🎨

This Friday - 23 October - is our Peer Support Group in The Tryst Centre from 10.00-11.30am.

This group gives parents suffering from any form of perinatal mental health issue to have a safe space to be themselves without judgement and in complete confidence.

The group is led by fully trained volunteers who also have lived experience of perinatal mental health issues.

We know how difficult it is to walk through the door that very first time but we know you won’t regret it.

Our Parenting Multiples - Stenhousemuir/Larbert and Surrounding Areas group is on tomorrow from 10.00-11.30am.

It’s our 2nd group of the month tomorrow (Thursday 15th October) in The Tryst Centre from 10.00-11.30am.

If you have multiple pre school/nursery children this could be the group for you. A lovely, relaxed group run by volunteers who will make you a hot drink, play with the little ones, cuddle a baby, sit and chat - whatever would be helpful to you.

The group is funded by Forth Valley Pandas Support Group and Stenhousemuir FC Community Foundation so is completely free to use.

Parenting in our current climate is hard - with multiples it’s even harder. Come along and meet other parents who understand the joys and the challenges of parenting multiples. 👶👶👶

Our Parenting Multiples - Stenhousemuir/Larbert and Surrounding Areas group is on tomorrow. If you have “multiple” pre school/nursery children this is a great FREE group for you. 👶👶👶

Tomorrow - Thursday 1 October (how did we get to October!!!) is our first Parenting Multiples Group of the month.

This is a FREE group run by Forth Valley Pandas Support Group and Stenhousemuir FC Community Foundation in The Tryst Centre from 10.00-11.30am.

This group is run by volunteers to give parents of multiples just a little bit of extra support. By multiples we mean any family that has 2 or more children under nursery/pre-school age. They might be twins, triplets, singletons born close together or a mixture of all of them!!!

Parenting is not easy - we understand how difficult it can be. The juggle of “multiples” makes it even more difficult.

Head along tomorrow and get a hot drink and a biscuit while you chat to other parents who actually get it. There are volunteers on hand who will help with the little ones - as well as plenty of toys and snacks. 👶👶👶

This Friday - 25 September - is our Peer Support Group in The Tryst Centre from 10.00-11.30am.

This is a free group for any parent or parent to be who is finding it all a bit of a struggle. It doesn’t need to be anything specific or a diagnosed condition - maybe you just feel things aren’t quite right.

Being able to chat things through with our trained volunteers - and other parents - might be all it takes to help you feel less isolated and more confident in your own capability.

We can’t guarantee to fix things but we do guarantee to listen and support without judgement. We’re also able to help you find other resources that might help you in your parenting journey.

Parenting is hard - you don’t have to struggle on alone. 💕

Tomorrow - Tuesday 22nd September - is our Mindful Crafting Group in The Tryst Centre from 7.30-9.00pm.

If you would like to join us please just drop us a DM.

It’s our second Parenting Multiples Group of the month tomorrow - Thursday 17 September from 10-11.30 in The Tryst Centre .

If you have twins, triplets or even 2 or 3 children under nursery age then this is a great group for you. A group where all the parents understand the additional challenges of parenting multiple babies.

Come along and let the little ones play (and eat snacks) while our volunteers help entertain them and provide you with hot drinks and biscuits.

We all know how hard it is being a parent these days - multiples, although a blessing, can be considerably harder. Just chatting to other parents can help you to feel less isolated. You might even get some tips! 👶👶👶

It’s our Peer Support Group this Friday - 11 September from 10.00-11.30 in The Tryst Centre.

If your pregnancy, birth or the postnatal period has impacted your mental health then this could be the group for you.

Even if you haven’t been diagnosed with a mental health condition you might still be struggling. You don’t have to do it alone.

Our group is run by fully trained volunteers who also have lived experience of perinatal mental health issues. A safe space to say how you feel with no judgement. There’s also hot drinks and snacks!

We know it’s difficult walking through the door for the first time but we know you won’t regret it. 🩷
