June ADHD Parent and Carer Meet Up

This month’s ADHD meet up takes place on Wednesday 8th June 2022 at The Dog and Partridge in Great Moor Stockport. Last month’s meet up had to be cancelled at short notice, due to renovation work at the pub, so we’re looking forward to seeing our parents and carers this month.

Our monthly meet ups take place on the second Wednesday of the month between 7.00 pm and 9.00 pm. The dates of our other 2022 meet ups are here on our website.

As always, our monthly meet up is only for those who are parenting a child or young person with ADHD. Although we are always keen to raise awareness of ADHD and will happily share our knowledge with anybody, these monthly meet ups are for parents and carers only. This rule allows us to maintain a safe space, where parents can share their experiences and discuss their challenges with others in a similar situation.

Meeting Cancelled

Unfortunately tonight’s ADHD parent and carer meet up has had to be cancelled. The Dog and Partridge is closed and as we were only notified earlier today, which wasn’t enough time to find a suitable alternative venue.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Our next meet up is on Wednesday 8th June.

ADHD Medication Presentation

This Wednesday, during our monthly parent and carer meet up, Michelle will be delivering a presentation about ADHD Medication. In addition to being part of the team that runs SPACE,  Michelle is also the Deputy Director of Pharmacy for the NHS in Tameside. 

Medication is a common treatment for ADHD and understandably many parents have questions. Michelle is able to combine her professional knowledge, with her personal experience of parenting a child with ADHD. This makes her ideally positioned to present the facts and answer questions. 

This presentation is for parents and carers only and will take place in our usual venue of The Dog and Partridge on the A6 in Stockport.

Our Next Monthly Meet Up

SPACE Meet Up
7.00 – 9.00 pm 2nd Wednesday of the Month

Our next meet up takes place on Wednesday 13th April 2022 at The Dog and Partridge on the A6 in Stockport. Our monthly meet ups are a regular core part of our group. Having an opportunity to meet other parents and carers in a friendly and relaxed environment, has been very valuable over the years.

These meet ups are only for parents and carers of children with ADHD. We don’t have any restrictions on children having a formal diagnosis and although we are based in Stockport, we welcome parents from other areas if they would like to attend.

If you would like any additional information please feel free to get in touch.

Happy New Year – Welcome to 2022

Happy New Year!

As we head into 2022, our thoughts turn to our monthly parent and carer meet ups. There has unsurprisingly been a lot of upheaval over the last couple of years, but despite the ongoing uncertainty it’s time to fill those shiny new diaries with the dates of this year’s SPACE meet ups. We will be sticking to our regular slot of the second Wednesday of the month, between 7.00 and 9.00 pm, but we will be changing location. Our January meeting will be held at a brand new venue – The Dog and Partridge in Great Moor Stockport.

Our monthly meet ups are a core part of our group and is a really valuable way for parents of children with ADHD to meet other people that share their challenges, in a relaxed friendly atmosphere. In addition to our face to face meet ups, we also have a private Facebook group, a public Facebook page and a Twitter account. We are also on Instagram and have a very neglected TikTok account.

Our face to face meetings and private Facebook group are strictly for parents and carers only, but we welcome the opportunity to raise awareness and share information about ADHD on the rest of our platforms, including our website. If you are the parent or carer of a child with ADHD, then you are able to attend any of our monthly meet ups and although we are based in Stockport, you are still welcome to attend if you live out of area. Throughout this year we hope to be able to reinstate our guest speaker slots.
