Family Information Service Hosts Free Christmas Parties

The Family Information Service (FIS) Team spread some Christmas cheer earlier this month as they hosted two Christmas parties for families in the Vale.

Working in partnership with organisations across the Vale, the FIS team, which is part of the wider Social Care Information Team, organised two Christmas parties on Thursday 5 December.

Hosted at the Memo Arts Centre in Barry, the parties were free to attend and offered parents and carers the opportunity to connect with partners and learn about the local support available to them.

Organisations such as Sports and Play, Families First, the Vale Youth Service, Communities for Work Plus, Vale Unpaid Carers and many more supported the event and engaged with families about their services, whilst offering some lovely Christmas activities.

Children had the chance to meet Father Christmas, get their face painted, and participate in a range of festive themed arts and craft activities.

The day was a huge success, and saw more than 500 children, parents and carers attend the events.

Kelly Fenton, Outreach and Information Officer for the FIS Team, was instrumental in organising the two wonderful events.

Da iawn to Kelly and the FIS team for all their hard work in pulling off such a splendid day!
