04-12-2024 Short Breaks update: Coffee morning at the Family Hub

Miri Dhamo, Head of the Joint Service for Disabled Children (Short breaks and social care) will join us for our coffee morning session from 10 am - 12 pm, on Wednesday 4th December to talk about Short breaks (sometimes called respite care) and answer your questions. 

See our flyer here. 

This is one of our regular drop-in sessions which take place in the Clement Medford Room (1st Floor) at the Ponders End Youth and Family Hub, 129, South Street, Enfield, EN3 4PX.

We have external speakers for most of these events, providing an update on a topic of interest and answering your questions on that subject. 

Members of the Our Voice team will be on hand every session 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 and what support they offer.

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.
