Launch event and fun day

On Wednesday 27 May, we held our launch event at the Quaker Meeting House in Ealing - a Fun Day for Ealing’s families of children with special educational needs. Despite the rain we had a lovely afternoon, with over 100 people dropping in to grab a bite to eat and learn more about the service. The children loved the balloon-modelling and Louise’s face-painting was a hit!

Parents enjoyed speaking with Barbara Yerolemou, the new mayor of Ealing, as well as several senior members of Ealing Council. The Mayor kindly posed for photographs with families and the team, which will appear in the Ealing Gazette.

We’re so pleased that, as well as coming to talk to us, parents got talking to each other. We hope that the connections parents made at our Fun Day will encourage them to attend a host of more informal meet-up events which we’ll be organising over the next few months, along with other organisations in the area.

Special thanks to Caireen Piper and Alan and Susan Webber for all their help on the day.
