An opportunity to connect with other parents and carers of Lighthouse Futures Trust student parents, past and present. A caring, social and informal group community safe space.
Our LFT parent and carer peer support group aims to build connections with other parents and carers in similar situations. The group meets monthly in a safe, supportive environment, to share experiences, discuss key issues that are faced daily by our young people, and explore solutions and further support for you and your family.
The sessions are informal and have room for all suggestions and ideas (as well as our own!) for how to support your young people with making friends, being social and independent. Hot and cold drinks and biscuits are provided for those attending in person. Online access is now available for anyone wishing to dial in remotely.
Please note that this group is for parents, carers and guardians of LFT students only. We do not have capacity for young people to also attend at present.
