Come to Tea  & Coffee with Mamgu

Are you one of the 60% of grandparents who look after their grandchildren regularly?

Do you need help from your parents sometimes?

Do you know local parents and grandparents who could be interested in getting together to support each other?

Come to Tea  & Coffee with Mamgu and the Llanelli Multicultural  Network, Wednesday May  11th   from  10.00am-12.00pm at The CAVS  office, 10 John Street  Llanelli SA15  1UH. Local Patron: Menna Trussler plans to be there.  

Find out more about Learn with Grandma and discuss setting  up a local group where local families can support each other: learn from each  other and have fun together. Have a chat about things you would like to see  happen in Llanelli. You could set up a craft group – the older generation could  show traditional skills – how to knit or mend a bike! Start an allotments  association or a shop selling Fair Trade & local goods. Start a home-work  group.  Children could show the older generation  how to use the internet – how to book tickets; find the lyrics to the old songs.  All sort of information is now on line – just one click away! The children could  record traditional skills; local history – we need to capture some of these  before they are forgotten.  

If you can’t come but would like to know  more contact Val.
