ENJOYING THE FUN: Parents and children at Playzone.

TO celebrate its second anniversary, a Locks Heath support group held a children's party with a difference - the parents were given a chance to enjoy themselves.

The Parent Network held its own birthday celebrations at Playzone, Portchester, to keep the children occupied while the parents relaxed.

The group, which has signed up more than 140 members in the past two years, provides weekly support groups for parents and parents-to-be and gives them a chance to meet friends and be given moral support.

Members also hold major fundraising events to help improve services for parents in the area and help local charities.
