Many of us are worried about what will happen as our kids get older; where they might live, how they will manage and what we need to to do to prepare them. If they are going to be staying at home after finishing education, what will they be doing and what support can we get as a carer? What are we going to do ourselves with the rest of our future? We also need to think about what happens when we are no longer able to look after them. With that in mind, PCAN is running an event on:

Please note for your diaries, the 10th of April social event at Thornhill Lees has been re-organised to the 24th April, due to a clash of dates.
As we are aware, September isn’t necessarily the perfect start date for some young people! We know there may also be young people who started mainstream college, but couldnt cope.
We have availability at Deanclough Halifax, Leeds Art Galler, Leeds and Cartwright Hall Bradford Campuses.
Please fill in the enquiry form to book a taster day for your young person.https://pinccollege.co.uk/enquiry-form/

This is a fantastic opportunity to find out about everything you need to think about when it comes to protecting your family. The talk is delivered in a friendly, plain-speaking way with a sprinkle of humour thrown in. It will be a whistle stop tour of Wills, Lasting Power of Attorney, Trusts, and Probate. Covering options on protecting your assets, guardians, executors, trustees, funding care and much more. At the end of the session, there will be a chance for Q & A and hopefully you will be clear about where you might want to go next.
