Welcome to the Summer 2017 programme for
getset services in Mendip.
Here you can find details of the groups we run,
community-run groups, events and Health groups.
Unless otherwise stated, groups are for parents
and carers with children aged 0-5 years.
We hope you will find something of interest for you and
your family in this programme.
Our getset services groups are run by the Family
Support team and sometimes by volunteers. The
getset services groups take place across Mendip at
venues including Children’s Centres, community
centres, libraries and village halls. Ask a member of
the getset services team for more information.
Health groups are run by Health professionals, such
as Health Visitors, Midwives or Community Nursery
Nurses.
Members of the getset services Family
Support team may also attend these groups to offer
help and advice to parents. Health groups are free of
charge.
Community groups are run by other providers and
include toddler groups, community-run information &
advice groups, volunteer-led and self-led groups & job
clubs. Always contact the providers of these groups
before you leave home, to make sure that the group is
running.
