Mums Matter Breakfast making festive keepsakes 12/12/24

Mums Matter!

We're delighted to invite you to a special breakfast where you can make some special keepsake bauble decorations by yourself or with your child/grandchild. Invite your friends and come and make new friends. Please book a place so we can get numbers for catering and manage the space on the hall.

School run and arrivals:

This will be a very relaxed breakfast. You can come straight from the school run (if you do one) and enjoy your breakfast while others arrive. We will start the crafting at around10.00am. You can head off when you need to and we will pack away from 11.30. Do stay and chat if you would like to.

Here's some photos from a previous keepsake making event we ran:

Pre-schoolers and babies are welcome:

Your children are welcome as we guess you will want them in the photos! There will be toys for them to play while you enjoy yourself.

You don't have to come with children:

By the way, you don't have to come with children and you don't have to get a photo taken! Just come and relax with us over breakfast!

Getting to Thanington Resource Centre, Canterbury:

Thanington Road is on the bus route out of Canterbury to Ashford, up Wincheap Road. The Centre is only 5 minutes walk from Wincheap park and ride. There is plenty of parking, friendly staff and accessible toilets for us to use.

Introducing Aileen, your host from My Birth Support CIC:

"You matter mum, it's vital that you know that! If no one cares for you, how can you keep giving out to everyone else? I'm a mum too and I remember how full on it was when my children were babies and pre-schoolers. The transition into parenthood is daunting and overwhelming when it's going well, never mind if you have had a difficult or traumatic experience in the process.

I've been supporting the emotional wellbeing of mums, parents and families for over 10 years now after overcoming Tokophobia (fear of childbirth) myself. I'd love to offer this pampering time to you because mums matter, because YOU matter!

I look forward to seeing you there!"
