For families

Headlines Family Weekend is our main annual event, bringing families together in a safe enclosed environment, where every child’s difference and disability is accepted.   It provides an opportunity for children with craniofacial-related conditions and their siblings to take part in a range of activities, giving them the chance to overcome the physical limitations of their health conditions, and to make friends with other children like them. 

 

The Weekend also gives parents a chance to share experiences and to support each other.   

The 2022 Family Weekend is being held at The Pioneer Centre in Shropshire on the weekend of the 16th-18th September.   Situated in stunning countryside on the edge of the Wyre Forest,  the Centre is within easy reach of Birmingham and the national motorway network and provides a range of indoor and outdoor activities from its 25 acre Canadian- themed site.      Accommodation is in six en-suite wings, catering for families of up to 8  – for further details, please email us info@headlines.org.uk
