Family Groups
We run weekly stay and play Family Group sessions for parents and their young children. We understand that many parents find it difficult to go to groups and we do what we can to make it as easy as possible.
Our groups are ‘invitation only’ for families referred to Home-Start IOW to keep them small and to help parents and children who may feel worried about meeting new people.
Staff and volunteers provide a warm welcome and will do all they can to support and encourage parents who are anxious.
Sessions take place each week in Newport, East Cowes, Ryde and Sandown.
If you, or someone you know would benefit from attending one of our group sessions please complete our referral form and one of the team will be in touch.
If you’re feeling the same this is definitely something I would recommend to anyone as it’s really helped us.”
“Coming to group has made me more confident, I couldn’t go to groups or face people before.”
“The group has helped a lot. It helped me get out and meet other people and it was good for my girls to have somewhere to play with other children. It has helped us all make friends”.
