Community organisations in south Shropshire invited to networking event

Organisations and individuals who work with local communities in south Shropshire are  invited to a Strengthening Families Networking Market Place event next week.

It will take place at Halo’s Craven Arms Community Centre, Newington Way, on Tuesday 18 April 2023 from 3.30pm to 5.30pm.

The event is being organised by Shropshire Council’s Strengthening Families team, and attendees will have the opportunity to find out about local and countywide services, network with other professionals, and get information advice and support.

Strengthening Families aims to support vulnerable families who might need extra help to be happy, healthy, and safe. This involves working closely with many other services to provide families with the right support at the right time.

Kirstie Hurst-Knight, Shropshire Council’s Cabinet member for children and education, said:-

“As a council we’re committed to ensuring families who may be struggling are given the support to help them feel safe and to thrive in their local communities.

“Our Strengthening Families Networking Market Place event provides a great opportunity for local organisations to find out what we do, network with other organisations, and seek advice, information and support.

“If you’re an organisation who supports local communities in south Shropshire, please do come along and join us.”
