Families Connect Survey

Harrow Mencap presents... Families Connect

Hello Carers,

We would love to offer you more opportunities to engage in activities as a family, just like our upcoming England vs USA football match! Confirmed tickets will be announced soon…

Here at Harrow Mencap, we are very excited to share with you our new pilot project ‘Families Connect’.

Family’s Connect is a service which offers supported family outings, holidays, transport, workshops, advice and training for carers!

Please help us in sharing your thoughts and needs for this potential project. We want to gain a greater understanding of how we can best support you. The deadline for completion of this survey is 12th November 2018.

Thank you for taking part.

Kind regards,

Kayleigh Thornton
Children and Young Persons Services Manager
