We are very excited to share with you all, that we have launched our first ‘We Are Meetups’ which is called ‘We Are Mums’, and you are invited!

Along with two of our fantastic members Becca at Little Wildflower Wellbeing & Amy at MamaBabyBliss, we have teamed up to bring We Are Mums to The George of Harpenden on Friday 8th December 2023 at 10am - 12pm. This event is suitable for children from birth to pre-school ages.

A simple way for mums to find mum friends locally. Connecting our community, one meet up at a time.

All proceeds from our launch event will be donated to Great Ormond Street Hospital, in memory of Morris Stanley. For more information on how you are making a difference: The Morris Stanley Brighter Future Fund.

• A yummy selection of pastries

• A dedicated  play area for little ones to enjoy, kindly set up by our members The Little Gym Harpenden 

• A special festive appearance from our very own elf (Dance With Sophie), a show full of songs and dancing to keep your little one entertained.

 Optional extras: 

• Capture a festive professional photo with our member Karen Le Leu Photography (free mini shoot, photos purchased at an additional cost). Karen is kindly donating all profits to Great Ormond Street Hospital.

• Why not make a cute festive hand or footprint keepsake/gift with Victoria from a Black Bear Ceramics. Baubles, Christmas Eve plates and so much more available to make (additional charge – 10% of purchase donated to GOSH).
