Connecting Over Coffee: Highlights from Our Recent Parent Carer Coffee Mornings
A few weeks ago, we trialled a new idea to reach and support more of our community: running two informal coffee mornings in different locations! Alongside our regular catch-up at Woody's café in Windsor, we hosted an informal session at the lovely Saints Café in Maidenhead. These events were our way of saying a heartfelt thank you to parent carers for everything you do and for supporting our work.
Over free cups of tea and coffee, delicious pastries, and cakes, it was wonderful to connect in a warm, welcoming environment where parents could drop in, unwind, and chat about their day-to-day lives.
We were grateful to be joined by local parents who generously shared their lived experiences with us. Listening to your real stories gives us a much clearer understanding of what families are facing, helping us identify where local services need to focus and improve for the future.
Your feedback and experiences directly shape our work. As we prepare for our upcoming meetings with SEND service providers and decision makers, we’ll be bringing your stories, challenges, and ideas to the table to ensure local services genuinely reflect what matters most to our families.
For the Future
We are pleased to share that we will now be holding these informal coffee mornings at the start of every school term. We would love to hear even more families' voices and welcome new faces—so keep an eye out for the dates for next term, and come enjoy a warm drink and a treat on us!
