Finding your people can make all the difference 🧡💙

Our Young Mums Group is a space to connect, share experiences and build friendships with other young mums who understand the ups, downs and everything in between of parenthood.

We love hearing how supported, welcomed and included our mums feel, and how they have a real voice in shaping the group and the activities they take part in. 🧡

A huge thank you to the young mums who continue to share their experiences and help make the group what it is. Your voices matter. 💙

🌟 Could you spare a few hours on a Friday morning? 🌟

We’re looking for a friendly and enthusiastic volunteer cook to join us at our Family Centre on Friday mornings. 🍲💙
If you enjoy cooking and would love the opportunity to share your skills while supporting local families, we’d love to hear from you!

As part of the role, you’ll help prepare and cook food for our community, creating a welcoming space where families can come together, connect and enjoy a meal. You’ll also have the opportunity to gain a Food Hygiene Certificate and build valuable skills and experience along the way.

Volunteering with us is a wonderful way to give something back, meet new people, develop your skills and make a real difference to families in our Leith community.

Interested, or know someone who might be? Get in touch with us to find out more! 💙

🧡Every family's voice matters.💙

The stories, reflections and feedback shared by the families who walk through our doors are at the heart of everything we do.
They help us celebrate what's working, understand where we can grow, and shape the support we offer to our community here in Leith.

It's been wonderful to hear so many parents describe our Bumps & Bairns and Baby Massage groups as places where they've found connection, confidence and a sense of belonging. In those early days of parenthood, having a welcoming space to meet others, share experiences and feel supported can make all the difference.
