OLL Well-Being

Are you a parent or carer of a child or young person with autism, ADHD, SEN or additional needs?
A friendly, informal Parent Carer Drop In is taking place at Bude Family Hub, offering a welcoming space to meet other parents and carers, have a chat, find information and support – or simply enjoy a cuppa with people who understand.
The drop-in takes place every second Friday of the month, from 10am–12pm at Bude Family Hub, Broadclose Hill, Bude, EX23 8EA.
Supported by the Bee Team, Bude Autism, ADHD and SEN Group and Cornwall Parent Carer Forum.
No pressure and no formal appointment – just come along.
Please share with parents, carers and families in the Bude area who may benefit.

Carers do you care for someone with mental illness? We have two dates coming up for our FREE course to help support you in your caring role.
10th Nov -Truro
26th Nov - Penzance
