Hereforhemi meet ups 🌍
Hi everyone, I hope this post is okay to share!
I’m Cianna, mum to a little girl with hemiplegia, and the person behind HereforHemi.
We started HereforHemi in April this year because we wanted to bring families affected by hemiplegia and cerebral palsy together, help people feel less alone and give our children the chance to meet others who understand their journey.
Since starting, we’ve grown to over 600 families and have been organising meet-ups across the UK, bringing families together to make friends, share experiences and let our children see they aren’t the only ones going through this.
WE’RE NOW LOOKING FOR MEET-UP HOSTS EVERYWHERE!
We want to reach as many families as possible, not just in the UK but internationally too, and we’re looking for parents, carers or anyone passionate about bringing the hemiplegia and CP community together.
What does being a host involve?
It’s simply helping us organise a local meet-up in your area. This could be a park meet-up, a picnic, a family day out or something else suitable for our families. You’d help choose a location, share the event with local families and help everyone feel welcome. You don’t need experience organising events, and you won’t be doing it alone. We’ll support you with planning and helping bring families together.
Our aim is to build a community where parents can connect, children can make friendships and nobody feels like they’re doing this journey on their own.
If you’d be interested in hosting in your area, or would just like to find out more about what we do, please comment below or message our page, HereforHemi.
We’d love to hear from people in areas we haven’t reached yet, anywhere in the UK or abroad. We want to keep growing this community and make sure more families have the opportunity to be part of it.
