What is a Parent Champion?
Parent champions are volunteers who work alongside Wrexham Family Information Service (WFIS) to provide information and advice in their local communities. They signpost parents and carers to local services and share their personal experiences of being a parent and accessing support themselves.
Signposting for parents and carers
You can ask parent champions about topics including:
- Info -
- Activities and events after school and in the holidays
- Parenting support services
- Health and wellbeing support services
- Relationship support services
- Services for disabled children and children with additional needs
Getting further support
If you have met a parent champion in your local community and would like further support or information please contact us by using our WFIS enquiry form.
Becoming a parent champion
We are always looking for new parent champions who would like to support the families in their local area. To find out more about volunteering opportunities with parent champions please email parentchampions@wrexham.gov.uk.
