What an incredible day at the Shaping Portsmouth Conference! We’re delighted to share some amazing news… 🏆 We were the recipients of the Shaping Portsmouth Community Award! 🏆 The Shaping Portsmouth Awards, celebrate the work being done around the city in the key areas of Business, Education, and Community. This came as a huge surprise to us and we are so delighted! When we know there are so many organisations working across the city doing some truly amazing things, we couldn't be prouder to be recognised for our work with this award. 💛 Thank you to all of you—our supporters, partners, and the incredible community we work with. 💛 And huge congratulations to Jodie Goodchild!

We are loving the Shaping Portsmouth conference! Come and find us in the Zodiac Suite during the networking break. We’d love to connect with you.

Happy New Year! As we step into 2025 with fresh energy and new goals, we'd like to invite you and your team to start the year with purpose by joining us at The Great South Run this October in support of The Parenting Network. By participating, your team can boost both physical and mental well-being, strengthen team bonds, and make a meaningful difference in the community. We’ve made it easy for your team to get involved: Run for a Cause: Choose between a 10-mile or 5k run. Family Fun: Parents can run alongside their children in a family-friendly event. Inclusive Participation: Everyone can contribute, whether running or supporting through fundraising. We’ll provide a custom sign-up form for your team and set up a dedicated, branded fundraising platform to make participation seamless. If your business is able, you might also consider match-funding the amount raised by your team—though this is entirely optional. For full details, including fundraising requirements, please reach out to Jo Morgan jo.morgan@theparentingnetwork.co.uk Let’s make 2025 a year of teamwork, wellness, and community impact!

We had an incredible training day today with the brilliant Shamila Dhana of Portsmouth City of Sanctuary. It was fascinating and powerful to dive into the lives of migrants in the UK and empower our team with the knowledge and skills to best support families from different cultures.

Calling All Businesses: Support The Portsmouth Baby Bank! Could your business play a vital role in supporting families in need? The Portsmouth Baby Bank works tirelessly to alleviate child poverty, provide essential support during times of financial and emotional stress, and promote sustainability by reusing pre-loved items. Our free service relies on referrals from professionals who work directly with families in challenging circumstances. We collect and redistribute baby clothes, equipment, cots, prams, and toys to families in need. However, some essential items—such as nappies, toiletries and clean mattresses—must be purchased new. This is where your business can make a real difference. By sponsoring the Portsmouth Baby Bank, you'll help us reach more families, provide vital resources, and create a stronger, more supported community. Together, we can make a lasting impact. Get in touch today to find out how your business can help! jo.morgan@theparentingnetwork.co.uk
