About this Event

Mums Matter!

We're delighted to invite you to a special breakfast for mums of all ages and stages, where you can make a special keepsake gift by yourself or with your child/grandchild. Invite your friends and come and make new friends. Please book a place so we can get numbers for catering and manage the space on the hall.

School run and arrivals:

This will be a very relaxed breakfast. You can come straight from the school run (if you do one) and enjoy your breakfast while others arrive. We will start the crafting at around10.00am. You can head off when you need to and we will pack away from 11.30. Do stay and chat if you would like to.

Introducing Aileen, your host from My Birth Support CIC:

"You matter mum, it's vital that you know that! If no one cares for you, how can you keep giving out to everyone else? I'm a mum too and I remember how full on it was when my children were babies and pre-schoolers. The transition into parenthood is daunting and overwhelming when it's going well, never mind if you have had a difficult or traumatic experience in the process.

I've been supporting the emotional wellbeing of mums, parents and families for over 13 years now after overcoming Tokophobia (fear of childbirth) myself. I'd love to offer this pampering time to you because mums matter, because YOU matter!

I look forward to seeing you there!"
