Koala North West’s Thriving Families programme offers one-to-one, tailored support for parents, carers, and children aged 0–19 (or up to 25 with SEND). Whether it's parenting guidance, mental well-being, or strengthening family relationships, we're here to assist you in a way that works best for you.

On May 14th, 2025, families, professionals, and local leaders came together at the Holiday Inn, Ellesmere Port for our “Preparation for Adulthood” (PfA) event. This pivotal day focused on ensuring that young people with SEND have the right support, from the early teenage years through to adult life.

In May 2024, we published the results of our latest Parent Carer Survey — and what we heard was powerful. Families told us, once again, that the system is still not working for them. Communication, co-production, and access to timely support remain major challenges. But this time, something shifted.
