Supporting Parents and Carers of Disabled Children across Dumfries and Galloway
Parents Inclusion Network is charity based in Dumfries and Galloway who enable parents and carers of disabled children, to come together and support each other through shared experiences. Our members have, or care for, children of all ages, with a wide range of disabilities. We welcome new members to join us, even if your child does not have a formal diagnosis.
Staff at Parents Inclusion Network, known to our members as just ‘PIN’, are here to offer practical advice and support to help you and your family. We bring together parents and carers of a disabled child to share experiences and reinforce that you are not alone. If you have a disabled child, we offer a range of activities, support services and training events. Our staff are a dedicated team that can listen, understand and help. Whether you come along to a lunch or coffee meet up, attend a family day activity or get involved with the training we run, there is something to help everyone.
Our exciting family day activities are for the whole family to enjoy during the school holidays
Our training events are developed around what issues parents tell us they need help with.
We can help support you as a family to navigate the journey of having a disabled child.
Please note our events are open to Parent Inclusion Members only. All our members are welcome to attend our events. Click on the individual events to find out more details or visit our events page to see all our upcoming events.

Santa is nearly here so we thought we would give you a little taster on whats to come early next year. Please keep an eye on our Facebook page and website to keep up to date with what we are doing.
Our next AGM will be on 26th November 2019.
The Board of Directors would like to ask all parents/carers if they would like to become a member of the board. It is not an obligation that takes up much time, but it does require a commitment and a belief in the value of PIN
