resources for support groups

We can provide help and advice on getting started, and with developing your group as it grows. Your group can also join the pinpoint network and we will send you regular information on issues and events that might be of interest to your members, and on opportunities for your group to get involved in making decisions on how families in Cambridgeshire are supported.
