REVIEH OF THE YEAR NOVEMBER 2022-23 Tkn IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO RAISE A CHILD NOVEMBER 2023 THEPARENTVILLAGE.ORG.UK THE PARENT VILLAGE The Parent Village became a charitable incorporate organisation in June 2022. Our Vision We believe that parents are always doing the best they can with their children and that they use their strengths and experiences in how their family works and parentin Our work together provides a space for parents to shar their experiences with others, create connections and supportive friendships. Our Values Along the way they will build on their existing strengths and skills tapping into greater awareness of themselves that enhances their parenting and family life. Compassion Community Respect Tkn CHAIRS REPORT Setting up a new organisation is never easy. Starting something from scratch so often means doing more than you anticipated with less than you need, all against the backdrop of uncertainty: what if this idea I've had doesn't work? What if nobody engages? To stand a chance of success you need a purposeful vision and a clear plan. The Parent Village has a vision to support parents be the best they can be and has delivered against our objectives to help make this vision a reality for more and more people. Through the expert leadership of our gifted CEO, Penny Phillips, The Parent Village has reached hundreds of people and has achieved that most difficult of things creating something tangible from an idea, and all whilst living our values and showing real kindness. The work we have done this year and the relationships we have formed enable us to look ahead to our second year of operation with ambition and positivity, and plan for an expansion of our activity to help more parents in 2024.

And "I grew up in a culture where you didn't have feelings or talk about them". 21 Parents attended Parents wanted to understand more about the topic Keen to form connections The aim of the workshop was to work collaboratively with parents to understand their culture and faith and how these factors impact on parenting. They welcomed the opportunity to meet more parents Helping to increase parental awareness of what factors are at play in our family dynamics, how they help and support family relationships and where tensions can arise.
