Family Voice
Parent and Carer Panel
The Best Start Family Hub – City of London Network is inviting parents and carers who live in the City of London to be part of our new Parent and Carer Panel.
The Panel will be a small group of parents and carers (aged 18 or over), that helps oversee the planning and development of our Best Start Family Hub – City of London Network.
What’s on offer?
• £10 high street voucher per hour of meeting time (around 3 meetings per year lasting no more than 2 hours)
• information and support to help you be part of the Panel, no experience or prior knowledge necessary
• be part of driving positive change for children, young people and families in the City of London
If you’re interested in being part of the Panel, please complete this short form telling us a bit more about yourself by the end of Sunday 18 October 2026.
