Members of the Our Voice team will be on hand at this session and once every two weeks to listen to your questions and issues and point you in the right direction to resolve the issues you are facing. Or you can just take the opportunity to offload a bit and have a chat with other parents who experience some of the same challenges as you, over a cup of tea or coffee.
See our booklet here for more information, including details of what the hubs are, what support they offer and what events are coming up.
Practical information:
The hub is located at 129, South Street, Enfield, EN3 4 PX.
Some people have reported problems with getting to the hub using SatNav. It is best to look out for the Oasis Academy School which is opposite the hub. You may find that once parked you are by the side entrance of the hub – you will probably need to go to the South Street entrance to get admittance to the building – please walk around the building until you get to the front.
These events are aimed at parents and carers rather than children. If you do need to bring children with you, please note that you will be responsible for supervising your children throughout the session – we do not provide childcare or activities for children during these sessions.
Our Spring party is always a popular event, and all places MUST be pre-booked. At the moment places are only available to members of our mailing list.
If you are not already on our mailing list, but would like to register to attend this event with your family, please sign up for our mailing list here or email us at info@ourvoiceenfield.org.uk and ask to join.
