SMILE Connect understands the difficulties of lone parenting. Our aim is to support parents & children with their practical and emotional needs. We hold a variety of sessions. SPORT is our running club. We recognise the benefits of exercise on well-being & know it can be difficult to be motivated. Childcare is provided to enable parents to run. Sparkle* is our self-esteem course for children. Saturday Morning SMILE are our monthly sessions. Our Outreach Worker can give 1:1 support.
Why the community needs usWe help build community, networking & linking individuals to each other or other support agencies. Friendships are made and healthy life choices promoted.
Our impact on the communityWe need someone to oversee the children's craft, once a month on the 2nd Saturday of the month. This would involve working with the Management Committee to plan activities as well as sourcing and preparing any materials. We also need more team members generally to chat with parents & play with children.
