YOUNG parents needing help on a range of issues can take advantage of a new group.

The group meets at Wallace House Community Centre on Thursdays between 11.30am and 1.30pm, and aims to offer help and advice to parents under the age of 20.

It has been set up by Evesham health worker Debbie Winter-Taylor and local youth workers to meet the needs of young parents.

Debbie said: "The group has been set up to address the specific needs of young parents, who may need advice on parenting issues, healthy eating, social isolation and education, and benefit needs.

"We are hoping to establish a group of young parents and help to raise their self esteem to make better parents and to achieve their potential in the workforce."
