Closing Event: 20th November

Join us at the Great North Museum: Hancock on Thursday 20th November.

There will be lots of taster sessions you can try including baby massage, song time, baby sensory, Solihull getting to know your baby and more! The taster sessions will be aimed at babies or families with babies between 0-2 but feel free to bring along toddlers or siblings too!

You'll be able to meet lots of local services who are here to support you on your journey. Perhaps you want to chat to Children and Families Newcastle about what's going on in the hubs or ask NAPI about parent and toddler groups near you. Maybe you have a question for a midwife, a health visitor, or the oral health team. Newcastle United Foundation, The National Literacy Trust, The Children's Foundation, North East Young Dads and Lads, and so many more are looking forward to meeting you and your little ones.
