Mothers with Purpose

🌸 Mothers are often the heart of the family, but who supports the mothers?

Many women spend their days caring for children, supporting partners, managing households and putting everyone else's needs before their own. This can leave little time for connection, self-development, friendship or simply being heard.

Mothers with Purpose is a welcoming space for women to come together, support one another and build meaningful connections. It is an opportunity to reflect, grow, share experiences and strengthen the foundations that help families flourish.

We believe that when mothers feel empowered, connected and supported, the positive impact reaches children, partners and the wider community.

🌟 Why does this matter?
✅ Reduces isolation and loneliness
✅ Builds confidence and wellbeing
✅ Creates supportive friendships and networks
✅ Encourages personal growth and empowerment
✅ Strengthens families through stronger, supported mothers

Because thriving families begin with supported parents and connected communities.

📅 Thursday 2nd July

Why We Run This Coffee Morning

Because nobody should feel alone. 💜

Many women tell us they struggle with isolation, loneliness, confidence or simply finding time to connect with others.

Our Coffee Morning was created to provide a safe and welcoming space where women can build friendships, access support, share experiences and feel part of a community.

Over the years we've seen friendships blossom, confidence grow, and women support one another through life's challenges.

This is about more than coffee.

It's about belonging.

📍 Al-Huda Academy, Darnall
🕤 Thursdays (Term-Time) | 9:30am – 11:00am

Join us for a cuppa, a chat and a warm welcome.
