Intertwined - Roots

📍 Grindon Young People's Centre, Grindon Lane, Sunderland, SR4 8HW Parking Information

🗓️ Wednesdays Term Time Only Term Dates

🕓 7:00 - 8:00 pm

We’ve included a 15-minute transition time between each session to allow everyone to arrive and leave comfortably — no rush, no pressure, just a calm flow between groups and also means parking bays are then free for the arrival of the next group.

👥 All participants should attend with a parent or carer to support if required, this ensures safety for all and means additional support can be provided where necessary. However, this also allows us to provide a platform for which parents/carers/support workers can connect with each other and provide a real support network for each other, in a welcoming environment.

☕️ The venue has a seating area and kitchen where parents, grandparents, and carers can relax, chat, support each other and enjoy a hot drink whilst also having the opportunity to observe the session.

💷 £6 per session, first session can be paid as a one off payment if wanting to trial, then following sessions should be paid for per half term. Payment Information
