Growing Together is progressive and open minded young parent support network based at St Ann’s Hall in Andover. What we offer is a safe space for parents between the ages of 16-25 which enables valuable opportunities for young people in similar situations to interact with one another and gain support. Discussion is highly encouraged and we pride ourselves on being able to meet our families’ needs.
Common themes for sessions include:

We ask that only one parent per family to attend at one time. We welcome pregnant and expecting parents, parents with a child in or out of care, and parents with a child in school.
