12 May Drop in session at Ponders End Youth and Family Hub

This drop-in coffee afternoon session will be from 12.30 - 2 pm on Monday 12th May. 

This is one of our regular drop-in sessions which take place in the Clement Medford Room (1st Floor) at the Ponders End Youth and Family Hub, 129, South Street, Enfield, EN3 4PX.

You can see information about all our sessions for the Summer Term 2025 on our flyer. 

We have external speakers for most of these events, providing an update on a topic of interest and answering your questions on that subject. 

Members of the Our Voice team will be on hand every session to listen to your questions and issues and point you in the right direction to resolve the issues you are facing. Or you can just take the opportunity to offload a bit and have a chat with other parents who experience some of the same challenges as you, over a cup of tea or coffee.

Practical information:

The hub is located at 129, South Street, Enfield, EN3 4 PX.

Some people have reported problems with getting to the hub using SatNav. It is best to look out for the Oasis Academy School which is opposite the hub. You may find that once parked you are by the side entrance of the hub – you will probably need to go to the South Street entrance to get admittance to the building – please walk around the building until you get to the front.

These events are aimed at parents and carers rather than children. If you do need to bring children with you, please note that you will be responsible for supervising your children throughout the session – we do not provide childcare or activities for children during these sessions.

29 Mar Teen / youth event 2025

Booking is now open for our event for young people with additional needs aged 14 – 25.

You have been telling us for some time that whilst you love our family parties for younger children, some of your teenagers/young adults, would really welcome an event just for them.

We are planning our event on Saturday, 29th March 6 -8 pm at the Ponders End Youth Club. See our flyer for the event here. 

Numbers are very strictly limited and all places must be pre-booked via Eventbrite.

Please book here.

Parents/carers will be expected to remain in the building but will be in a separate area to the young people so everyone can relax!

We have lots of fun activities planned for the young people including a disco, photobooth, popcorn and candyfloss machines, slushies and pizza.

There will be coffee, tea and biscuits for parents and carers, and a chance to chat with other parents and some of the Our Voice team.

29 Mar Teen/Youth evening

Save the date for our second event for young people with additional needs aged 14 – 25.

27 Mar Introduction to Positive Behaviour Support for parents and carers

Our Voice is pleased to offer our 'Introduction to Positive Behaviour Support' workshops for parent carers.

Our next session will be an online evening session from 7-9 pm on Thursday 27th March. 

See the flyer here for more details. 

All places must be pre-booked via Eventbrite - please use this booking link here. 

The sessions aim to provide an understanding of Positive Behaviour Support to help families to prevent and manage behaviours of distress by creating an environment that minimises the need for these behaviours. The outcome should be to improve the quality of life for the child/young person and their whole family. 

We will look at how families can work with the whole network of people around their child/young person (for example school staff, professionals in social care settings etc) to enable a consistent approach around the child/young person. 

The training will be run by expert members of the Our Voice team who have training in PBS and lived experience of using the techniques with their own children. 

Please note that this session will not include a detailed Q&A session to explore individual scenarios about your child's behaviour - but you can also go along to one (or more) of the monthly PBS drop-in sessions at Cheviots to discuss these questions and challenges with professionals from the Cheviots team, and Our Voice team members with personal lived experience. The next sessions will be on Friday 7th March 10 am - 12 pm.
