Parent Gym

Who we are

Parent Gym, is a not-for-profit organisation set up in 2010 that runs a six-week parenting programme in state primary schools, children’s and community centres, free of charge. We have just run our 1000th programme and have now reached around 9,000 parents in London, Brighton, Hove, West Yorkshire (Leeds, Bradford, Wakefield), Greater Manchester and most recently, Bristol. The programme covers the key challenges of parenting, (2-11 years old), providing parents with the practical skills and confidence to enable their families to flourish and help their children to make the most of the all their learning opportunities. The six, two-hour interactive sessions are led by specially trained Parent Gym volunteer coaches and for many who attend, friendships are formed which become vital support long after the sessions end.
