Friday Mums at The Bridge👶💛

Last Friday, we spent the morning together at The Bridge with two lovely sessions for our Friday Mums community.

We were joined by Shanice Pownall, Infant Feeding Specialist, for an open and informal conversation about feeding your baby, from breastfeeding and bottle feeding to combination feeding, expressing and everything in between. There was space to ask questions, share experiences and talk honestly about the realities of feeding a baby. 🍼

We also welcomed Jess VanderWier from Nurtured First for a relaxed meet-up and conversation around parenting, emotional connection and building confidence as a parent. 💛

Friday Mums is a free, welcoming space for new mums and expecting mums to meet, chat, share experiences and find a little community along the way.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, and to Shanice and Jess for sharing their time and expertise. 🫶

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our Collage Workshop 💛

Together, we explored reimagined futures — using collage to dream, imagine and reflect on the futures we want to create. ✨

It was such a lovely afternoon of creativity, openness and conversation. From cutting and creating to sharing ideas, hopes and stories, the workshop offered a space to pause, reflect and imagine what could be.

Thank you to everyone who brought their time, creativity and curiosity, and helped make the space feel so welcoming and supportive.

And a special thank you to our wonderful facilitator, Abbey, for holding the space with such care. 💛

We loved imagining futures with you and can’t wait to create, dream and reflect together again soon ✨

You don’t have to navigate menopause alone. 💛

Menopause can affect so much more than your physical health. It can impact sleep, mood, energy, work, relationships and social life and everyone’s experience is different.

Having the right information and support can make it easier to understand what’s happening and find ways to look after yourself.

That’s why we created Here We Glow a space for women to learn, share experiences, ask questions and connect through community and wellbeing.

From expert talks and honest conversations to workshops, movement and wellbeing sessions, there are different ways to explore menopause and find support that works for you.

Could it be perimenopause? 🌱💜

Perimenopause and menopause are a natural part of life, but there’s still so much we don’t know or talk about. From understanding when perimenopause begins to knowing what menopause actually means, having the right information can help us feel more informed and supported.

And there’s no one way to experience it. Everyone’s journey is different.

That’s why we created Here We Glow 💛

A six-month programme creating space for women to learn, ask questions, share experiences and connect through perimenopause, menopause and beyond.

Join us for the Here We Glow launch event with Jenny Éclair on Wednesday 23 September, and explore the rest of the programme on Eventbrite. There are expert talks, honest conversations, workshops, wellbeing, movement, comedy and community to discover.

🎟️ Book your place at the launch and explore upcoming events on Eventbrite.

And this is just the beginning… keep an eye out for more from Here We Glow.✨

What a lovely evening at DINE 🍽️🌱

Last Thursday, we gathered around the table for an evening of delicious Taiwanese food, good conversation and community.

A huge thank you to Hsuan Yang for sharing her cooking with us and bringing the flavours, food memories and traditions of Taiwan to The Bridge Social. From deep-fried tofu and Taiwanese mushroom ragu to tofu pudding, taro balls and herbal syrup, every dish was full of flavour and thoughtfully made.

DINE is all about good food, sustainability and making sure everyone has a place at the table and it was so lovely to see that come to life.

Thank you to everyone who joined us 💛

Until the next one!
