RIASS Drop in Sessions
As you may be aware RIASS is currently holding 2 Drop in Sessions a week throughout the borough. On Mondays we are at the Engagement Hub on Ilford Lane and on Fridays we are at Gearies Children Centre.
We will be opening a new Drop in Session in the Gants Hill area in the summer and as soon as we have more details we will update you.

Family Fund - Discover More Support
The family Fund are excited to let you know that they have launched a free 'Discover more support' search tool on their website. Families raising a disabled child or young person can use it to find organisations that offer support. Parents and carers can browse through the 130 organisations to help with money, benefits, mental health, wellbeing, education, learning and disability.
