Parents’ Support Space

Parents’ Support Space For parents and carers supporting children with additional needs.

Saturday 14th February 2026 (Mums) – 10:30am – 12:30pm

Sunday 15th February 2026 (Dads) – 11:00am – 1:00pm

Higher Ground is pleased to open Parents’ Support Space — a free, drop-in session created especially for parents and carers who are supporting children with additional needs.

Parenting can be rewarding, challenging, and sometimes isolating. Parents’ Support Space offers a safe, calm, and welcoming environment where you can step away from the day-to-day pressures, connect with others who understand, and feel supported without judgement.

These sessions are about people, not labels. Whether you want to talk, listen, ask questions, or simply enjoy a quiet coffee, you are welcome exactly as you are.

What Parents’ Support Space offers

A warm, inclusive space where parents and carers feel comfortable and respected.

Opportunities to connect with others on similar journeys.

Shared experiences, encouragement, and peer support.

Gentle information, guidance, and signposting when helpful.

Tea, coffee, and time to pause and breathe.

There is no expectation to share, and no pressure to stay for the full session. You can drop in at any time between 11:00am and 1:00pm and take part in whatever way feels right for you.

Mums’ Session

A relaxed and supportive space for mums to connect, share experiences, and feel understood in a calm, welcoming setting.

Dads’ Session

A welcoming and supportive space for dads to connect with other fathers, share experiences, and build peer support.

Drop in session.

Whether you are at the start of your journey or have been supporting your child for many years, you are not alone. Parents’ Support Space at Higher Ground is here to offer connection, encouragement, and understanding.
