Good Friends
Our Friday Friends group is a friendly and supportive space for parents and carers to pop in for a cuppa and a chat. In addition to friendship and support, you can also receive help and guidance with:
-
Benefits advice
-
Access to other professionals (OT, physio, Speech and Language Therapy, and consultant support)
-
Sharing knowledge, advice and support
-
Meeting other parents in similar circumstances
​
Friday Friends has its very own Facebook page and WhatsApp group to provide information about the meeting that week.
Through the groups that we have run in the office we have watched families engage with each other and make lasting friendships. They empower each other, support each other and have made play dates away from our charity together feeling that they have made lasting friendships because they have something in common.

The Friday friends group has enabled me to meet and get to know
some wonderful SEN parents who have become friends. Spending
time chatting over a coffee gives us a lovely opportunity to share our
experiences and help each other out with advice. The ladies at BIDS
have also been amazing at signposting other services and providing
advice that is helpful in these sessions.
