New Support Group for Mums

Help Us Make It Happen!

At WayfinderWoman, we work to support women of working age who face exclusion or barriers to employment — and that includes women navigating the early months of motherhood, often in isolation or with mental health challenges.

As part of our community outreach, we’re launching a new peer support group for mums experiencing mild to moderate postnatal mental health difficulties. This will run weekly at our Hub, led by our trained Community Ambassador and Support Worker, Amy, and supported by our volunteers.

Why it matters:

Early motherhood can be a time of emotional hardship — and without the right support, many women become isolated, lose confidence, and struggle to return to work or community life.

This group will provide a safe, welcoming space where mums can:

·       Share their experiences

·       Rebuild confidence

·       Access wider support through WayfinderWoman’s services

We’re being supported by Eastbourne MP Josh Babarinde OBE, who said:

“This gap in services leaves women at risk of isolation, delaying recovery and impacting their wellbeing, confidence, and ability to return to work. The positive impact of this project will be far-reaching, ensuring that vulnerable women receive the support they deserve at a critical time in their lives.”

How you can help:

To run the group safely and make the space child-friendly, we need to raise £6,287.

Your donation will help cover:

·       Safety improvements to the venue for babies and toddlers

·       Equipment and materials for group sessions

·       Running costs while we assess longer-term needs

This initiative directly supports our mission to empower women, relieve emotional hardship, and help them re-enter work and society with confidence.

We’re asking for donations large or small to help us achieve our goal via this link (please add reference “Mothers’ Support Group”)
