The Parents Inclusion Network (PIN) is an established group of families affected by disability - parents and carers with sons and daughters with a disability. PIN manages a network of over 550 families affected by disability, throughout Dumfries and Galloway. By bringing parents and carers on our network together, PIN reduces feelings of isolation, exclusion and helplessness, so common to families with disabled sons and daughters. The network enables PIN to provide support, training, information and opportunities for consultation, for parents and carers in any number of creative and flexible ways, from visiting families in their homes across the authority, to booking Dalscone Play Centre for the exclusive use of PIN families. PIN is a unique group because it is run by parents and carers, with sons and daughters of all ages and types of disabilities.
