The Mum Collective: Real Talk, No Rules ✨

Let’s be honest—parenting doesn’t come with a manual, and those perfect social media feeds are lying. 🤫
If you are tired of the unsolicited advice and just want a safe, chilled space to figure things out, this is for you.
No lectures, no judgments, and absolutely no perfect parents allowed. 🙅‍♀️

We are launching a relaxed, informal hangout for mums to chat about the stuff that actually matters. ☕🍰

Come exactly as you are! Track bottoms, messy buns, and tired eyes are highly encouraged.

🗓️ When: Tuesdays 10am-12pm COMMENCES TUES 15th SEPT!

📍 Where: Ballysillan YFC

🎟️ Snaps & Snacks: Free coffee and treats provided.

Spaces are casual but limited! Click the link below to grab your spot, or drop us a DM with any questions. 💬👇

A huge shout out to Ballysillan Swifts Football Club and the Faulkner Family 💙

We are pleased to announce the total raised from the memorial match a few weeks ago finished at £1000. To the people that came to support, the players that came and had a go, the people in the background that organised and ran the day and most importantly, the Faulkner and Kirkpatrick families, we as a club thank you for giving so generously to another great event to remember our friends Craig and Jackie. On behalf of the Faulkner family, £500 was donated to Ballysillan Youth For Christ (aka 'the BlueHouses') and on behalf of the Kirkpatrick family, £500 was donated to Cancer Fund for Children. Two excellent organisations that provide much needed help and support to children far and wide. Another year gone but never forgotten ❤️ 🔴⚫️
