A NETWORKING forum is launching in the Maldon district.

The “Think Family” Forum will be coming to the Maldon District Council offices on Thursday next week, marking the official launch for the district.

The event will be giving people from organisations and agencies who work with children, young people and families an opportunity to network, participate in discussions, share ideas and identify solutions.

The theme for the launch will be early help and effective support for children and families in Essex, and people will get to have their say on future events in the area.

The “Think Family” forums are already taking place around the country on topics including health, social care, housing, local authorities, education and the voluntary sector.

The launch event takes place on Thursday at the district council offices in Maldon from 9.30am to 11.30am.
