Press Release
Parenting boost for Hammersmith and Fulham
A new three year parenting programme will be coming to
Hammersmith and Fulham thanks to a
300,000 grant award from Big Lotterys Reaching Communities Fund
to develop an extensive
parenting partnership project from the Masbro Centre.
The Parenting Partnership is an innovative project that will
support a minimum of 345 parents to
access 36 parenting groups run across the borough between
January 2012 and December 2014.
These evidence based parenting groups, known to have significant
positive impacts on families
and run by skilled parenting practitioners, will support parents
to gain self confidence and
empowerment through increasing their ability to manage their
childs behaviour and support their
development. The project will go on to train and support a
minimum of 36 empowered parents to
run their own parent groups themselves, in their own
neighbourhoods, creating a network of
sustainable support for families.
Urban Partnership Group has been co-ordinating parenting support
in Hammersmith and Fulham
since 2008 through the Parenting Co-ordinator Service, a project
funded by both the London
Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, and the John Lyons Trust.
This successful project, based
the Masbro Centre, has seen hundreds of families across the
borough access parenting support

the form of Triple P and Strengthening Families Strengthening
Communities. This new funding
will build on this expertise, allowing Urban Partnership Group
to offer targeted support via outreac
to those parents who often are unable to access statutory or
mainstream services. The project wil
look to ensure that fathers, lone parents, parents with
languages other than English, and those wh
are least likely to ask for help, are all provided with the
tailored support they need.
Urban Partnership Group is proud of the positive work they have
undertaken with children and
families in Hammersmith and Fulham for many years, including the
Masbro Childrens Centre and
Masbro Youth Club services, and would like to thank the Big
Lottery for recognising this positive
work through the offer of this grant. We look forward to being
able to expand and strengthen this
positive work through the Parenting Partnership project.
Ellie Suggate Parenting Projects Manager at the Masbro centre
said We are absolutely delighted
with the award. This is a real boost to parents in the Borough.
Good parenting can be a game
changer in childrens lives and this fund will focus on
vulnerable families giving them real hope fo
the future. ENDS
