Parent/Carer Coffee Events

Joanne Southall • March 13, 2026

Come along to catch up with other parents in an informal setting. Stay for 5 minutes or the whole session.

PCF Coffee Events - free, informal sessions, where parents will be able to chat to other parents. Some hosted by us, others we will be attending.


People from education, health, SEN services and charities will pop along to some coffee mornings so you can ask them any questions about accessing their services.


Children are very welcome!
