Torbay brings you Baby Week– tax –
We want to ensure that every child has the best start in life. That’s why we’ve joined the National Baby Week Partnership to highlight the importance of the first 1001 days of a baby’s life. Between 14 and 20 November we will be running the first ever Baby Week Torbay. During the week we’ll be bringing together local organisations and services to host a range of free and low-cost events for all parents, expectant parents and carers and their children. Each event is designed to bring people and services together to ensure Torbay is the most supportive place to raise your family.
The theme of Baby Week Torbay is ‘Connecting and Building Relationships – it all starts with a baby step’. The week will have a real focus on dads and father figures and connecting local organisations, colleagues, families, and caregivers.
Baby Week Torbay is organised by Torbay Family Hubs with partnerships involving Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust, Public Health, Action for Children, Torbay Council and many more partners across all sectors.
This year, Torbay will be celebrating its first ever Baby Week from the 14-20 November! Check back here as many events and activities will soon be added! To add an event, please click on the events tab above and click on ‘submit an event’.
