The project is using funding to develop their organisation operationally by increasing capacity continuing and increasing the frequency of staff development and training and enabling a volunteer structure to increase their reach. The funding will also give families with young children free access to workshops that focus on early years development in the community of Barking and Dagenham as well as giving access to a network and community through their �cocoon together� initiative offering online peer-to-peer support for families with young children while their workshops are not running.
