Profile:
We
are looking forward to being able to offer the Face 2 Face
service in Northamptonshire, to give parents crucial one to
one support around the difficult time of their child being
diagnosed with having additional support needs. This
new scheme will compliment existing services in the county.
We
are currently recruiting potential parents to train as volunteer
befrienders in March/April this year. If you are a parent
and are interested in training to become a befriender contact
Diane Rayner on the above details for information.
Once
the volunteers have received their training we will be looking
to launch the scheme, around June/July time this year, and
we will be looking to take referrals to the scheme.
Making
contact with professionals and sharing information about the
service we offer is important to us to please get in touch
if you would like further information!
If
you can display a poster in your local community or office
please contact Diane on the above details for a copy.
