ADHD Parent Support Group
Quick reminder that there is no monthly meet up in August.
The S.P.A.C.E. team will be back at the Dog and Partridge on Tuesday 10th September 2024. You can check the dates for the rest of the year on our 2024 meeting dates post.
See you all in September. Have a great summer.
The S.P.A.C.E. Team
Although we do lots of different things, at it’s core our charity is a parent support group.
S.P.A.C.E. was created by parents of children with ADHD, because the support they needed for their families didn’t exist. Our monthly meet ups currently take place at The Dog and Partridge pub on the A6 in Stockport. In the past they’ve taken place in a variety of different places, but the format has remained the same.
We have occasional guest speakers, but we usually let you get on with chatting to other parents. The team are here to help and signpost where we can, but our biggest strength is in parents meeting other parents that share their challenges.
Our monthly meet ups take place on the second Tuesday of the month between 7.00 and 9.00 pm. If you are a parent or carer of a child or young person with ADHD and would like to meet other parents and carers, in a friendly relaxed environment then you are welcome to join us.
At our core we are a parent support group. We do our best to ensure that parents have access to reliable information to help them make informed decisions about their children. Every month we hold a face to face meet up for parents and carers of children who have ADHD. This year our February meet up includes a medication talk.
Our monthly meet ups are an opportunity to chat to other parents in a relaxed and informal environment and we sometimes have guest speakers. This month our Michelle will be delivering a talk to our parents and carers about ADHD medication.
Michelle is generously delivering this talk because we know that medication is a topic that lots of parents have questions about. There is lots of conflicting information online and lots of parents have benefitted from having this very complex topic explained to them in “layman’s” terms, by an expert with a friendly face and lived experience of parenting a child with ADHD.
As usual there is no charge and no need to book in advance, but we will be starting the meet up promptly to ensure that Michelle has enough time to deliver the medication talk and answer questions.
The meet up will take place at The Dog and Partridge pub from 7.00 pm. The full address and a Google Map is available on our 2024 Meetings page
Our monthly newsletter is usually emailed the day before our monthly meet up and always includes full details along with any changes to our usual format.
The S.P.A.C.E. team run face to face meet ups for parents and carers of children with ADHD on the second Tuesday of each month. Our meet ups take place at the Dog and Partridge pub in Great Moor, Stockport.
Our monthly meet ups are an opportunity to meet other parents and carers. Parenting is never easy and raising children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder can bring specific challenges that are not always understood by those with no experience of the condition.
Our meet ups are relaxed and informal and there is no need to book in advance.

We appreciate that not everyone is able to join us for our face to face meet ups and also have a thriving online community for parents and carers, which is based on Facebook.
Our next ADHD meet up for parents and carers takes place tomorrow at The Dog and Partridge in Stockport. This will be our last meet up before the summer break. Although we don’t have a face to face meet up in August the team will still be available online.
As always our monthly meet ups are an opportunity for parents of children with ADHD to meet other parents in a friendly and relaxed setting. It is also an opportunity to chat to the S.P.A.C.E. team and ask questions face to face. We know that not everyone can make it in person and also that there are other reasons why visiting the pub isn’t an option for some people. Our private Facebook group provides a place to connect with other parents, ask questions and share experiences. Please get in touch if you would like more details.
We’ll be at The Dog and Partridge tomorrow (Tuesday 11th July 2023) from 7.00 pm until 9.00 pm. Dates for the rest of the year and a map are available on our meeting dates page.
