Parents Association

Offering experience, support & care for families joining the Elidyr community.

We're here for you and for your son or daughter.

The Elidyr Communities Trust Parents Association (PA) is a parent-led group that connects and supports families throughout their time at Elidyr. We share information and experiences, host PA meetings, inform about issues likely to affect you or a family member and your son or daughter, raise funds, and make sure your voice is heard.

What’s it all about 

  • Stay informed - keep up with news, meeting notes, and event details through our comms channels.
  • Connect with other families - the PA formally meets twice per year on-site (usually in summer and winter and scheduled around the Summer and Advent Fayres). In the autumn, we host a workshop for new parents joining the Elidyr Community.
  • Communicate - join our WhatsApp and/or Facebook PA channels.
  • Have your say - the PA is your PA – it’s run by parents and guardians, for parents and guardians. You can shape our agenda, join the committee, raise funds (which are spent on projects to benefit all at ECT) or simply turn up and meet other parents.
  • Support the community - the ECTPA has a long tradition of fund-raising and co-funding initiatives and projects at Elidyr for the benefit of learners and residents alike. PA co-funded projects include a major contribution to equipping the gymnasium, kitting out the IT suite, furnishing the Ty Colleen B&B, and, currently, we are actively fund-raising for the Music Therapy project.
