What is a Family Forum?
An opportunity to have your say
A chance to influence services/activities
Meet local parents
Do something for the children of your community
How often do we meet?
We aim to meet every 6 weeks, at your local
Children and Family Centre, for about half an hour.
What happens at the Family Forum?
Members of your local Children and Family Centre
team will attend to facilitate the group discussion
around what parents want for their children and
families locally
An informal discussion rather than a formal
meeting, where children are welcome and chat
happens over a cup of tea!
Would you like to be part of this?
Come to one of our next meetings
Dad’s Breakfast
We welcome dads of under 5s for breakfast on the
1st and 3rd Saturday of every month. These sessions
are extremely popular and we would love to see even
more dad’s enjoy a free breakfast with their children
and join us for an activity themed play session. Check
out our time table for details of which theme we run
every month. You do not need to book- as long as you
have a child under 5 and you live in West Sussex just
pop along for a play!
We run Dad’s Breakfast from 2 of our Adur Children’s
