We are a group of parent carer volunteers working together as Make it Happen (WPPG). This parent led organisation (CIC) is for all Westminster parent and carers of children and adults with special educational needs and/or a disability (up to 25 years).
What do we do?
We create a space at our drop-in sessions where parents can meet together, ask questions, talk and feel listened to.
We can help you to access information, services and support.
We run 2 weekly drop-ins, information sessions and consultation events (term time only)
We create opportunities for parents to get involved and have their say about services such as health, social care and education. We have parent representatives who help to represent the views of parent carers to service providers. We also have an elected steering group that makes key decisions for the forum.
We meet every Thursday during school term time at our Tresham Centre 27 Trsham Crescent, Marylebone, London NW8 8TS - We have remporaily moved to 4 Lilestone Street, NW8 8SU.
We now also meet on at the Bessborough Centre, 1 Bessborough St, Pimlico, London SW1V 2JD, please get in touch to know which Tuesdays.
You are free to drop–in and meet parents/carers just like you and share your stories with them. We can also help guide you in the right direction to finding the right people to help you further. We have a family support worker who could help you with form filling and signposting. Please call us on 02076412314 or email chair@wppg.org.uk or info@wppg.org.uk.
Dear parents,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your ongoing support and commitment to our parent carer forum. As the Chair of the forum, I feel privileged to be part of such a dedicated and passionate community of parents who are committed to improving the lives of our children with special needs and disabilities.
Your involvement in our forum has been essential in making sure that we represent the interests of parents and carers in our local area. Your valuable contributions, ideas, and feedback have helped us to shape and influence the services that are available to our children and young people.
I want to take this opportunity to welcome new parents and carers who have recently joined our forum. We are thrilled to have you on board and look forward to working together to make a difference for our children.
As a parent carer forum, we understand that parenting a child with additional needs can be challenging. It can often feel like a lonely and isolating journey. However, with the support and guidance of our forum, you can be assured that you are not alone.
Our forum is a safe and supportive space where you can share your experiences, ask for advice, and connect with other parents and carers who are going through similar experiences. Our ultimate goal is to support you to be the best parent and carer you can be, whilst also ensuring that your child's needs are met.
Once again, thank you for your continued support, and I look forward to working with you all in the future.
Hend Rahman
Chairperson of the Executive Committee
