LPCF Achievements

Virtual Signposting & Information Event

20th May 2020

These Virtual events were held instead of our proposed event in Navenby to ensure that parents were still supported during these challenging times. Feedback from parents and organisations has been very positive.

One parent commented "I am so pleased I attended as I'm not sure where I would have got the information from".

This experimental trial has been successful and we intend to continue exploring virtual meetings providing it continues to be of interest to parents. See link for more details

Volunteer Engagement Day

16th March 2020

LPCF held its March Volunteer/Trustee engagement day at the Supreme Inn, Bicker Bar, Boston.

A team of six volunteers joined together to learn about the initiatives that the Charity has been working on and to look at its current priorities.

The team were given the usual update on the meetings that volunteers and trustees have been attending and the outcomes that have been achieved.

The subject of parental participation and engagement was discussed and one of our own volunteers enabled us to look at the subject in more depth. Ideas to increase participation were encouraged and the outcome was that during the next few weeks we would explore the subject at length through our internal blog to collect everyone's views.

Along with the Local Authority and partners we have been involved in an additional programme of work to identify new ways to support schools, parents/carers and other professionals to successfully delivery the best outcomes for children and young people with special educational needs in a sustainable way.

Impower who are leading this work attended our VE day to inform volunteers about the projects progress so far, collect the views of our membership and to thank volunteers for their involvement in the work.


A volunteer commented " It was brilliant to hear that Impower wanted to hear what we had to say".

Lunch concluded the day.

Signposting and Information Day

31st January 2020

29 Organisations showcased their Information & Support for Parent carers & professionals at our Signposting & Information Event at Hubberts Bridge Community Centre in Janaury.

Parent Carers, Professionals and members of the public provided feedback at the event:-

"This was my first time attending a Signposting Event as a Professional and I really enjoyed it. All of the staff were very friendly, welcoming and accommodating. The venue was lovely. Lots of interesting stands however some stands felt a little hard to approach and not clear. Nonetheless I enjoyed the experience and will come again.

During the day we also gave parents the chance to attend two workshops delivered by Hil Gibb which gave parents a “Toolkit for Building their resilience"

During the workshops parents were asked to consider their coping mechanisms,were given hints to develop their skills,spent time exploring the support available and developing a plan to use the practical hints and tips they learnt.

Volunteer Engagement Day

LPCF held its Volunteer/Trustee engagement day at the Supreme Inn, Bicker Bar, Boston on 14th January 2020.

A team of ten volunteers joined together for a team building day to explore the work of LPCF.

The team were given an update on the meetings that volunteers and trustees have been attending.

The importance of the survey was discussed and all volunteers were encouraged to complete it and publicise it.

Discussions surrounding LPCF's coffee events followed and volunteers were asked to add ideas on post it notes to the display board. From these discussions it was suggested by volunteers, that LPCF should also have an open Facebook page for professionals and people without children with disabilities/SEN to find out more about our Charity.

Volunteers commented "Team building today was a chance for everyone to have a say, share ideas and a chance to learn about things from a different perspective.

Lunch concluded the day.
