Our Story

Created with community at its heart.

ProudMums CIC was established from a passion for bringing mothers together, reducing isolation and creating opportunities for women and families to thrive.

Through working within local communities, we recognised that many mothers can face barriers to accessing health information, social support, learning opportunities and meaningful community connections. ProudMums was created to help bridge that gap.

Today, we bring women and families together through health and wellbeing programmes, coffee mornings, community events, workshops, cultural activities, volunteering and practical support. Our approach is welcoming, inclusive and rooted in the communities we serve.

We believe that when mothers are supported, families become stronger and communities thrive.
