Make content about: Paula brings new mothers together

Paula brings isolated new mothers together for a weekly walk and coffee, replacing lonely days with fresh air and understanding friends.

This story

For new mothers facing isolation on a new housing estate, a weekly push along group offers a chance to get out and connect. A group of about six meets on Wednesday mornings to walk a couple of kilometres round a local track with their prams, followed by coffee or a picnic. The session gives mothers a safe space to share advice on weaning and teething, get exercise, and make lasting friends. The group began during lockdown when parent groups and healthcare visits were shut down.
