MAD Mondays
Established through a multiagency partnership working with Best Beginnings in Derwent to help local parents and volunteers to set up and manage a parent and toddler group.
The partnership work has allowed the local people to shape a relevant and responsive service, creating links with the wider communtity and encouraging participation. It also improves the skills and knowledge of the health and care providers and local volunteers who are developing professionally and personally.
The arts activities encourage interaction between parent and child. It also encourages the parent to be creative alone, so that they can enjoy what they are doing and relay what they have learnt to their child, allowing them both to enjoy the experience individually and then together.
It is an opportunity to aid new parents ‘feel good’ factor and create an inspiring and welcoming environment within a community.
