The Parenting Network: Your Village in Parenthood
At The Parenting Network, we provide vital FREE services to families in Portsmouth, empowering families and enriching lives. Our mission is to support you through every stage of parenting.
We offer a range of services, including engaging stay and play groups, school readiness programmes, fathers' groups, and teen mum support. Our bump & baby classes provide essential guidance for new parents, while our Mischief Makers programme fosters creativity and connection through fun, interactive activities.
Our services are delivered in Family Hubs across the city, and we also have a dedicated family support space in the Bridge Shopping Centre, Fratton, where families can connect, receive support, and access advice.
We are committed to assisting families who have experienced childhood trauma and we also run a busy baby bank that supports over 100 families every month.
Each year, we reach thousands of families, running 30 stay and play groups weekly and distributing 300 meals a week to ensure everyone has access to essential resources.
Join us in building a brighter future for families in Portsmouth—together, we are Your Village in Parenthood.
