Local Assembly Member, Paul Davies has recently visited Jig-So outreach session in St Dogmaels, to hear more about the support services available to local families. Jig-So was established in 1992 to meet the needs of children from pre-birth to fourteen years of age, and their families, and offers an opportunity for local parents come together. They offer support in a variety of ways, from breastfeeding support groups to parenting programmes.
Following his visit, Mr Davies said, "I was delighted to visit the Jig-So session and to learn more about the programmes on offer to parents. The Jig-So staff do a fantastic job in supporting local parents, in an informal, friendly setting. I was particularly impressed with the range of programmes and workshops that are available, such as first aid course, and even fire safety courses."
He added, "The value of these courses to families is invaluable. Not only are the parents learning important safety lessons, but they are also developing teambuilding, problem-solving and confidence skills along the way. I would highly recommend the Jig-So session to parents in North Pembrokeshire and if you are interested, then you can read more about this excellent service at http://jigso.co.uk/"
Linda Grace, Chair of Trustees for Jig-So said. "I'd like to thank Paul for his continued support for Jig-so, which is very much appreciated. I'd also like to thank St Dogmaels Community Council for their support and funding, which has enabled our outreach team to deliver a range of diverse services to North Pembrokeshire."
