The Parenting Network is now closed for our Christmas break. We will be back from Saturday 4th January. The whole TPN team wishes you a Merry Christmas and we look forward to seeing you all in the New Year!

Well, this week has been nothing short of amazing! Thank you for every single person, organisation, business that donated to our toy appeal with @nationradiosouth, your generosity was incredible. We've had the absolute pleasure of welcoming families into The Bridge Hub this week to 'shop' for their presents, so that parents & carers could choose gifts that they know will bring a smile to their children's faces on Christmas day. In all of our work at TPN, it is really important to us that EVERYONE feels welcome, without judgement, and the comments we've received from parents accessing our services this week have just meant the absolute world to us. Please always remember we are here to support you and your family, we are your village in parenting whenever you need us. Merry Christmas!
