The Friends & Family Hubs are run by the CIC Thinking BIG.
We meet monthly in Bradford, Keighley and Menston for presentations and guest speakers on a variety of topics, and for our group meetings. We sometimes have social event or walks too. We know that the best-connected families have the best outcomes, so let’s get together!
Your child doesn't need an official diagnosis of SEN/learning difficulty/disability in order to join the Hub.
We meet once a month from 10am to 2pm. We have training or a guest speaker, then have lunch (provided) followed by our group meetings, which are facilitated, safe and welcoming.
We run face-to-face sessions and live streaming, along with our friendly WhatsApp groups. Whatever your child's age, and whatever their needs, you will be able to learn, connect, and share in the group. The staff team and our parent members have a wealth of knowledge from their own experiences. We know what struggles families of children with SEND are facing, because we've faced them as well.
Members complete a short registration form and can then book onto any of the scheduled sessions (subject to available places). A programme of events is available so members can plan ahead. We also have an online resource where members can see what was covered in the sessions, and access other helpful information. Some members attend all sessions, some members only come to some: the Hubs are there when members need them.
If you have any questions, or want to join the Hub, please email friendsandfamily@thinkingbiguk.org and we will be happy to reply.
