Families, children and young people network - Funky Lizard
Do you work with parents, children and teenagers?
Join the Funky Lizard!
The Funky Lizard Network is unique, in that it brings together all people who provide activities and services for families, children and young people in the voluntary, community or faith (VCF) sector. Our aim is to celebrate the VCF sector, to learn together and to have a voice where decisions are made. The Funky Lizard ensures that the voluntary, community and faith sector has a voice at the Tameside Children and Young People's Strategic Partnership. Anyone can join us at these meetings and find out what the decision makers are saying. If you work with families, children, or young people you can be a member of the Funky Lizard, and the best part is, it’s absolutely free!
