Dear Friends
FREE workshops! Would your support group like to have a free workshop
from Contact a Family Cymru? If so please read on.
Thanks to funding from the Big Lottery
Fund and the Welsh Government, and with the support of our partners Irwin
Mitchell, Contact a Family Cymru is able to offer free workshop sessions to
support groups across Wales during 2014. We are offering a wide range of topics,
from ‘benefits’ to ‘behaviour’ and ‘education rights’ to ‘sleep’, all aimed to
support and empower families of children with additional needs. See the
enclosed leaflet for details of the key sessions we can offer, and note that we
can adjust the sessions to fit the needs of your group.
The workshops will be run in a very
informal way, with lots of opportunity for discussion and questions. It
certainly won’t be like sitting through a boring classroom lecture! And more
importantly we would like to offer these workshops at a time and location that
is convenient for your group. So, we hope to deliver the sessions when and
where you would normally hold your meetings. The sessions will be approximately
2½ hours, with some optional time at the end for refreshments and chat. See the
format of a typical session on the enclosed leaflet.
Still interested? We hope so! If you
are, please read the enclosed leaflet carefully and send the form back to us to
register your interest. We will then get back in touch with you to discuss
things further. But be quick, we expect demand to be high and the sessions will
be delivered to groups on a ‘first come first served’ basis. If you have any
questions, please call or email me.
Best wishes J

Although
this could be a great opportunity for your group, there are some downsides that
you need to be aware of. Firstly, unfortunately, we are unable to deliver the
workshops in Welsh, but if your group requests it, we can provide Welsh
language notes and handouts. Secondly, as we know demand will be high and we
have limited resources, we can only provide one session per group per year.
Thirdly, in order for you to get the maximum benefit from the session, we will
need to limit the number of attendees to 18. Sorry about that.
