Events

We’d love you to join us for our friendly mix of coffee mornings, focus groups, training sessions, and drop-in catch-ups. These are relaxed spaces to share how you’re doing, talk about what support you might need, and let us know where things aren’t working as well as to connect with other parents and carers who truly understand.

Our events also include visits from local professionals and training opportunities to help you learn more about services and support for children and young people with additional needs or disabilities in Hammersmith & Fulham.

We currently run a mix of online and in-person sessions on Zoom/Teams, at various community spaces within the Borough, mainly Masbro Centre (87 Masbro Rd, W14 0LR), and at The Stephen Wiltshire Centre (Queensmill Rd, SW6 6NB).

If you’re already a member, keep an eye out for our fortnightly newsletter for the latest events and updates.

If you’re new to Parentsactive, join our mailing list by becoming a member to make sure you never miss out.

Parentsactive runs events during term time only. All our events are free of charge. If there’s a topic or activity you’d love to see, get in touch! We’re always open to ideas from parents and carers.
