Details of the Feb 2020 "Concert for Carers" from MiHC and MPCFThis is a relaxed concert aimed at parents and carers of children & young people with Special Educational Needs & Disabilities (SEND) in Manchester.

We know that, as carers, parents may have little or no access to live music. With the help of Music in Hospitals & Care (MiHC), we aim to create moments and memories of joy, relaxation and engagement together with the wonderful, friendly musicians and fellow parent-carers.

The session will be provided free of charge and will include nibbles & refreshments. There will also be an opportunity to chat with some of our SEND partners before or after the performance.

Manchester Parent Carer Forum is a group of parents and carers of disabled children who work with Manchester Local Authorities, Education Settings, Health Providers and other providers to make sure the services they plan and deliver meet the needs of disabled children and young people (0-25 years), as well as their families, in Manchester.

We have a steering group of parent and carer volunteers who lead this work and listen to the views of other parents and carers in the local area to make sure they know what is important to them.
