Mummy & Me

Mummy & Me is a supportive, culturally sensitive programme designed for mums-to-be, new mums, and those with young children, offering a space to connect, learn and thrive.

The project originally began in 2016 as Wee Steps – a weekly group supporting mothers and young children through play, shared learning, and community connection. Over the tears, Wee Steps provided:

  • Stay-and-play sessions for mums, babies and toddlers
  • Support around breastfeeding and baby weaning
  • Baby massage and nutrition sessions
  • Opportunities for children to socialise and develop
  • A welcoming space for mothers to meet, share experiences, and reduce isolation

Building on this strong foundation, the project has since evolved to better meet the changing needs of families.

Mummy & Me (Since 2024)

In 2024, Wee Steps was re-launched as Mummy & Me a more focused and holistic programme aimed at supporting mothers’ wellbeing while recognising the importance of culture, identity, and community.

Mummy & Me is a safe, inclusive space where mums can:

  • Connect with other mothers and build supportive friendships
  • Share experiences of motherhood in a non-judgemental environment
  • Gain advice on balancing motherhood alongside cultural expectations
  • Access practical guidance on early years development

Specialist Support

We recognise that some mums need additional support. Through Mummy & Me, we offer confidential counselling sessions, one-to-one support, and small group sessions.

These sessions aim to support mums experiencing isolation, low mood, anxiety, or other challenges, helping them feel heard, supported, and empowered. We actively work with professionals and accept referrals from:

  • Health Visitors
  • Midwives
  • GPs
  • Social Workers


Our programme is particularly suited to supporting new mums who may be vulnerable, isolated, or in need of additional emotional and practical support.
