Join the Parent Network
VICTA started over 30 years ago as a local parent support network. Our reach has since spread over the entire country, but our original vision of bringing parents together for friendship and support hasn’t changed.

The VICTA Parent Network
We’ve heard time and time again how the best advice has come from another parent, or how the Family Weekends we host give parents a chance to discuss issues and create solutions. It is vital in many aspects, not only for the child but also the parents, to be able to access the best possible information and we believe that parents are key to this.
The Parent Network Facebook group is your space to support and advise one another, and run local events and groups to create networks of parents across the country. We believe you are the people best placed to provide help and advice if any concerns or problems arise. Other parents and young adults are on hand in the group to provide answers, support and encouragement.
If you are interested in becoming a Parent Ambassador, or be more involved in the Parent Network, please email parents@victa.org.uk
