a supportive & inclusive community, where you never feel alone
we're not meant to do this alone...
Society encourages independence! We no longer know our neighbours or live in the same street as wider family... we've lost our villages! There's so much conflicting advice out there & everyone claims to be an "expert"! This can all make raising a family feel lonely & isolating.
what is the Expecting Village?
This is an in person AND online community enabling you to connect,
share & grow alongside others in true community.
Experience deeper connections & real life support. Swap ideas as well as items!
Guest speakers will offer invaluable insights & advice on a wide range of
parenting topics & challenges that may lie ahead! Have your niggling questions answered in a safe space.
In person get togethers will be on offer for all the family - dip in & out as much as it suits you.
