Hi, how does your setting maintain parent's enthusiam for working in partnership?

Regularity of events: frequency maintains an interest.
Don't turn people away: try to accomodate what's being offered. If it seems difficult work out what your restrictions are, the benefits of the offer and how a solution can be organised.
Type of events & requesting input: how do you know what parents want to be involved with? eg. their child/ren's development, health, well-being, fundraising, resource suggestion, skill provision, learning activities.
Methods of contact: do you overcome communication barriers and fit means of contact to suit a parent/carer: email, txt, large print, audio, send newsletters, post events on a website, have access to resources written/signed for additional language needs.
Request feedback: how do you guage thoughts and feelings on things about to happen, that have happened, plans for the future.

Theres a fundraising planner here if it helps with ideas :)

Hth, best wishes xx
