It takes a village to raise a child, but also to hold a mother.
The Village
A free motherhood community in West Sussex, created to support women and families through pregnancy, birth and postpartum. Based in Chichester and welcoming families from across West Sussex and Hampshire. Birth workers and postnatal professionals together with other women-led businesses, we create spaces of connection, support and shared wisdom - so no mother feels she has to walk this journey alone.
Ways to connect:
The Village Gathering is open to mothers, parents-to-be and families. Come as you are - with your questions, joys, or worries. Whether you want to chat, listen or simply sit with others who understand, The Village Gathering is a warm and welcoming space to belong.
The West Sussex Village meets every Wednesday in Graylingwell Chapel, Chichester. Free, no booking required.
The Hampshire Village meets on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month in Make and Brew, Southampton. Free, no booking required.
