Children's partnership work on show in Llanelli
Staff from Carmarthenshire Children’s Partnership used National Family Week as an opportunity to engage with families in the Llanelli area.
The partnership, made up of key statutory and voluntary organisations including Carmarthenshire County council, hosted an information stall at the St Elli Shopping Centre.
Staff had the opportunity to inform parents and families about the range of family support services on offer within the county, such as Sure Start, Flying Start and Genesis.
Information bags and freebies were given out, and a range of activities, including face painting and hand painting, were laid on.
Janine Patrick, Sure Start development officer, said: “It was a great opportunity to get out and meet families during a half term week. We spoke to many families, some of who were not fully aware of the many support services we offer.
“Hopefully this will lead to further engagement, and will provide us with an opportunity to support more families towards a better future.”
