A Better Start Southend’s Festival of Conversations’ Pregnancy & Health Roadshow

Taking place as part of the A Better Start Southend Festival of Conversations taking place across Southend from 12-26 October for families with children up to 4-years-old, and early years’ professionals.

The third of four themed community roadshows welcome different community groups, and health and childcare professionals combined with interactive activities and child-friendly events. The roadshows are flagship Festival of Conversations events not to be missed.

Join A Better Start Southend (ABSS) and meet community partners, and pregnancy and healthcare professionals, offering practical support and services while mixing with other families.

ABSS work closely with local parents to find out exactly what they want to know and how we can give you and your little one the best possible, happy and healthy start in life. Early years (up to 4 years old) and expectant parents who are at the beginning of their journey are all welcome!

Discover information from local experts in their field including doctors, pharmacists, dentists, health visitors and midwives along with specialist support groups such as Chaos & Calm and Trust Links.

Excitingly, we’ll welcome Little City, a mobile role-play experience for toddlers, to keep walking-age children entertained, while the ABSS creche team will create a sensory and play zone for younger children to enjoy.

Make the most of the expertise of professionals in attendance, providing a wealth of knowledge for the health and well-being of you and your baby. Experts in their field from across Southend will come together in one space to answer your questions.

Accessible parking nearby, accessible toilet and baby changing facilities are available. This event is open to all Southend families with children under 4 years old. Pre-booking is not required – turn up and enjoy the fun.

Please note all Festival of Conversations may have a photographer and videographer present to capture the session. There will be an option to opt out of any media consent upon arrival at the session.
