This unique scheme is a free and confidential service, provided by trained parent befrienders who themselves have experience of parenting a disabled child with an impairment or additional need.  Befrienders provide emotional support to other parents of disabled children at the time of diagnosis, change or difficulty.

The Face 2 Face Network are currently setting up a service in the City of Brighton & Hove and the aim is to offer one-to-one befriending as well as coffee mornings, information sessions and other opportunities for parents and carers to get together.

With effect from April this year Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in Liverpool agreed to pilot our Face 2 Face parent befriending service from within the Hospital Trust. Fantastic news and ground-breaking too as we are the first Face 2 Face service for parents of disabled children developed within a hospital setting.
