About The Parenting Network
The Parenting Network is a non profit charitable organisation working to empower parents and build a supportive community of families who live within Hampshire.
We offer a range therapeutic and befriending programmes under the TPN umbrella. We actively listen to parents within our communities, providing advice, support and signposting towards more appropriate specialist services. Our work with families is delivered through a series of engaging programmes that promote fun learning, strengthening of family bonds and bringing people together whilst also tackling stigmas, gender stereotyping and social isolation.
