Parents – join us for a cuppa!

Parents – join us for a cuppa!

Our Moving Forward for Parents service supports participants in building a brighter future for themselves and their families. Utilising a holistic and trauma-informed approach, it assists parents with navigating change, overcoming challenges and accessing essential services.

Next month, we'll be hosting two informal Coffee Mornings – the first is on Tuesday 11 March, 10:30am-12pm (for parents whose young people attend the schools in Cluster 1) at St Cecilia's Hall, and the second is on Thursday 13 March, 10:30am-12pm (for Cluster 3) at Gate 55.

You'll get a chance to meet our parental caseworkers, ask them any questions that you have and learn about how we can best support you – we offer help and advice on:


  • Personal development and confidence

  • Health and wellbeing

  • Financial planning and benefits

  • Childcare and housing advice

  • Education and employability


Cluster 1: Boroughmuir, James Gillespie's, St Thomas of Aquin's RC, Tynecastle, Gorgie Mills
Cluster 2: Forrester, St Augustine’s, Craigmount
