Meet other mums. Join a local Mums At The Table group.
We know how tough mum life can be: You often feel isolated dealing with something you have no experience for. It makes you feel helpless and inadequate. You’ve heard it takes a village to raise a child, but we believe it also takes a village to raise a mum.
So join our community of mums online where you’ll have opportunities to connect with local women going through the same motherhood journey, and get the support you deserve. Find acceptance, feel confident and watch yourself become a better mum.
If there isn’t a group in your area, please check back as we’re regularly adding new ones.
We have two different types of groups at the moment, with two different ways of joining:
1. Local meet-up Facebook groups
Each group is moderated by one or more local mums in the area. Join in the discussions, and be a part of the regular catch-ups and playdates organised.
Simply answer the questions and agree to the rules to join. (NOTE: Your request will not be approved if you don't answer all the questions.)
2. Playgroups
Feel free to simply turn up and have fun. Coordinator’s name is in brackets. Please do tell them you’ve been referred from Mums At The Table.
All currently listed playgroups have undergone a rigorous screening process with the Seventh-day Adventist Church, of which Mums At The Table is affiliated with.
NOTE: Due to COVID-19 restrictions, some of these playgroups may not be running. We recommend you get in touch with the coordinator first.
