Calling all mums-to-be and mums in Hammersmith & Fulham and the surrounding community – an exciting new mum group has arrived! 

Meet The Mum Club – a nationwide network of local meet ups created to put mums first. From brunches and coffee clubs to walks and fitness classes, every event is designed to help mums connect, feel supported, and enjoy time for themselves. 

Why Mums Need The Mum Club 

Motherhood is rewarding, but it can also feel overwhelming and isolating. Not every mum finds her people in NCT classes, and for many second-time mums or those who have moved to a new area, making new connections can be tough. That’s where The Mum Club comes in. 

“Good mum friends are essential when you have children, but they’re not always easy to find,” explain founders Lauren Webber and Jessica Lawes. “When we had our babies, we’d go to classes where the children were entertained, but we’d leave without making real connections. We created The Mum Club so no mum would ever have to feel that way.” 

Recent research shows that 89% of mums have felt lonely at least once since giving birth – a reality The Mum Club is determined to change. 

What to Expect 

Imagine a group of local like-minded mums chatting over food and coffee, sharing laughs, advice, and stories. Every event is designed to feel welcoming and inclusive – whether you’re a first-time mum or a seasoned pro. Come alone or with little ones; this is your time. 

When’s the Next Event?
