Cirencester Family Support Forum is a free, safe space for local families to meet for connection, support, advice, activities (usually toys, puzzles, crafts etc) and refreshments. Some weeks we also have a special guest professional joining us.
We provide a safe space for SEND families, families who are home-educating (either by choice or awaiting school placement) and families experiencing isolation or other situations which means they would benefit from a safe, supportive space.
Your child doesn’t need a diagnosis for their needs to matter.
We help families understand neurodivergence, sensory and communication differences, distress and burnout, and advocate for environments and support that enable children to thrive.
From October 2026 we will meet on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays each month from 12-2pm, rather than weekly. We post updates and reminders about the Forum on our Facebook and Instagram pages- search Cirencester Family Support Forum.
Upcoming dates:
October: Thursday 15th
November: Thursday 5th, Thursday 19th
December: Thursday 3rd, Thursday 17th
You will meet Jo at the Forum. She will be able to explain what activities are available and give you any support and advice you need.
