Care For The Family Playtime Conference at Orangefield Presbyterian, Belfast // Sat 27 September

Care for the Family are organising a Playtime Conference for Saturday 27th September 2025 at Orangefield Presbyterian Church from 10am-5pm.

Your host for the day will be Caroline Bradley. Caroline represents Care for the Family in Northern Ireland and is passionate about supporting parents in the early years to help them provide great foundations for their little ones to flourish into adulthood. She has been married to Paul for 44 years, is mum to three sons and grandma to eight delightful grandchildren.

The main sessions will be led by the following speakers who will use exciting themes:

Small and Mighty: Rachel Turner
Sometimes the smallest things can have the greatest impact, and that is especially true when working with young children and their families. This season in a family’s life is a precious window where they are particularly open to God, faith, and the encouragement and support of a Christian community, and you are more significant than you may think. 

It’s your moment in the sun: Mark Chester
The work of parent and toddler group teams is often overlooked and undervalued, so it’s about time you had your moment in the sun! In our closing talk, Mark will pay tribute to your tireless and selfless work supporting the families of your communities, and bring you practical encouragement that will motivate you to keep making small things mighty!

There will also be several exciting and informative workshops on the day led by the speakers and other experts. You will also meet others in a similar position to yourself.

Tickets for the conference will cost as little as £25 – book yours by logging on to Playtime National Conference 2025 on the Eventbrite website or by scanning the QR Code on the poster.
