Mothers Meeting Mothers
A gentle, welcoming space for mothers to meet, connect, and feel less alone.
Mothers Meeting Mothers is a monthly community gathering created to support real connection between mothers and mother-figures, in all seasons and stages of motherhood.
These sessions alternate between:
Daytime gatherings with children in tow, and
Evening gatherings without children will begin later in 2026, offering space to connect as yourself, beyond the caregiving role.
There is no agenda, no fixing, and no expectation to share more than feels comfortable. You are welcome to talk, listen, sit quietly, or simply be in the room with others who understand.
The space is intentionally inclusive of diverse identities, family structures, cultures, neurotypes, and parenting journeys.

Why mothers meeting mothers matters?
Maternal isolation and mental load are widely recognised challenges within communities, particularly for:
New and early-stage parents
Single parents and those with limited family support
Neurodivergent parents
Culturally diverse families
Parents navigating transition, return to work, or identity change
While formal services play an important role, many parents need accessible, preventative, relationship-based spaces that support wellbeing before challenges escalate into crisis.
Mothers Meeting Mothers aims to respond directly to this need by offering consistent, low-barrier opportunities for connection that support emotional wellbeing, social inclusion, and community resilience.
