☕🍰 Carers Week Celebration in Skipton 🌼
We had a busy and lively Parent Carer Coffee & Cake Meet Up in Skipton this morning as part of our Carers Week celebrations.
Six parent carers joined us, along with Janine Martin, Parent Participation Officer for Parent Carer Voice, who shared her knowledge, experience, and valuable support with the group.
Over coffee, cake, biscuits, laughter, and a few tears, we created a safe and supportive space where parent carers could connect, share experiences, and support one another.
Some of the topics discussed included:
✔️ Applying for Deputyship
✔️ Disabled Children's Team referrals
✔️ Home-Start support
✔️ CEA and Access Cards
✔️ Blue Badge applications
✔️ National Insurance credits
✔️ Special school placements
Everyone who attended left with new knowledge, a beautiful bunch of flowers, and, most importantly, the feeling of being listened to and understood.
A huge thank you to everyone who came along and helped make the morning so special. 💜
