Speaker for parents' forum


Monkey

Recommended Posts

I am hoping you EDF mums and dads will once again be able to help me. I am launching a parents' forum at my workplace to support parents and promote an environment in which they can socialise and talk about all things children. I am looking for someone to speak at the forum's launch. I invited the mumsnet founders but have not heard back yet and that was always a bit of a long shot. Any ideas? I don't really have a budget so I am rideally looking for someone to come and speak for free - maybe an author promoting a new book for example. All ideas welcome. Thank you.

I would ask Gaby Hinsliff (ex political editor of Observer), got a book out on modern parenting and finding wrk-life harmony. The book is called Half a Husband and a really interesting read http://www.amazon.co.uk/Half-Wife-Working-Familys-Getting/dp/product-description/0701185988 She is on Twitter and seems to respond to people's questions etc

Also meant to be a great public speaker

    • FH is so much greener and IMO nicer than ED, sorry. Less commercialised.  The Great North Wood, Hornimans Gardens, Brenchley Gardens, One Tree Hill ) yep, some of that borders ED, so split between the two) 
    • Tesco sell pudding rice https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/254877391   And as for olive oil, my preference is the Spanish 2L cans in Sainsbury, it has a real nice peppery taste, not bland like the Italian one's I've tasted, but that's personal preference I suppose. 
    • It feels like a group who don't believe that private motoring should be discouraged and have no answers to the air quality problem, whereas the original Cleanairdulwich are campaigning to reduce pollution. Sadly we live in a world where if you are rich, you will generally live in nicer houses, have nicer environments and cleaner air.  That is capitalism for you, but I doubt whether there would be greater health equality in the former Soviet Union either.  Dulwich village was once full of industrialists and the like who didn't want to live in polluted central London where most would have made their money.  I will contact Cleanairdulwich and hopefully provide a better perspective.  Whether it is one individual or a whole community I support agree with what they are doing.  
    • ??? When they refer to "all Dulwich", I took that to mean including the residents of the streets where the traffic has been directed into due to the LTNs, which are presumably experiencing greater pollution/stress,  whereas the "privileged few" in the LTN areas are experiencing lower pollution due to less traffic. Hence the reference to inequality. Sorry if I've got the terminology wrong.
