We are excited to announce some of the interactive workshops that you can attend on day two of our family conference event.
With the AGM and family conference coming up next month it's time to start thinking about what workshops you would like to attend ahead of the event. The workshops will take place twice. One from 10.00am - 10.45am and the second from 11.00am - 11.45am. This will give you the opportunity to attend two workshops.
If you are attending the event with children and young people, they will be able to join our Youth Workers for different activities on site.

In this workshop we will explore the benefits of this holistic therapy, demonstrate some foot reflexology techniques to promote relaxation, and have opportunities to learn & practice some hand reflexology techniques.
