Summer is here, and to provide an opportunity for their members to connect with one another while their children have fun, the IP Non-traditional Family Network are delighted to facilitate the organisation of “park meets” in your local area.
If you would like to meet other members of our network near you, please let us know (either via our LinkedIn group or by email), indicating your nearest major town or city and what days of the week/times would best suit you. We hope there will be sufficient interest to organise some informal get togethers outdoors over the summer. The children will get to have some fun too!
