‘Flourish’ Parenting Class

What is covered?

Flourish is a welcoming group for mums and children under five years old who would like to meet other parents, make new friends, and enjoy quality time with their children in a relaxed and supportive environment.

Led by our Family Learning Project Worker, Flourish offers practical parenting advice, guidance, and encouragement to help and support families through the joys and challenges of early parenthood. Whether you are looking for information, reassurance, or simply a friendly place to connect with others, Flourish is here for you.

We understand that parenting can sometimes feel overwhelming. Many parents experience worries, anxieties, or uncertainty during their parenting journey. Flourish provides a safe, non-judgemental space where you can talk openly, gain confidence, and learn from both professionals and other parents.
