A Better Start Southend’s Festival of Conversations’ Southend Fire Station 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.

A Better Start Southend (ABSS) has partnered with Southend Fire Station for the fourth and final roadshow in the series, welcoming different community groups, and safety and skilled professionals combined with interactive activities and child-friendly events. The roadshows are flagship Festival of Conversations events not to be missed.

Meet community partners and local, unsung heroes within our community while gaining helpful advice for the safety of your community, home and family.

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!

Multiple organisations will attend these sessions, providing a diverse hub of conversation and communication. Parents and carers, we encourage you to seek support, meet with professionals, ask questions and give feedback. It is your feedback that helps us find the right support for your family and provide the services that work for you. We are excited to bring you a range of activities for your little ones, so you are free to mix and mingle with carers and parents and take away helpful advice and reading materials. The focus here is on community skills and community and home safety.

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.
