About Worcestershire Mums Network

Welcome to the Worcestershire Mums Network. Our journey began in 2013 when our founder, Siani Driver, noticed a gap in the support available for new parents in Worcestershire. Finding existing online spaces often judgmental, and struggling with anxiety that made baby groups challenging to attend, she launched a small Facebook group to foster genuine, peer-led connection. What started as a circle of friends quickly blossomed, reaching over 12,000 members.

Thirteen Years of Community Impact

Over more than a decade, we have evolved into a dedicated lifeline for families across the county. Our history is defined by action:

• Advocacy: Campaigning against closure of Children’s Centres across Worcestershire in 2016.

• Support: Raising funds for refugee families and hosting community picnics, as well as helping women fleeing domestic abuse to cover their moving costs and collect essential household items.

• Crisis Relief: Generating over £9000 in crowdfunding and grant funding over the past 6 years, to provide emergency food, fuel and energy vouchers and essential signposting during the pandemic and the subsequent cost-of-living crisis.

Our Mission as a Community Interest Company

Now in our 13th year, we have officially formed a Community Interest Company (CIC). Our aim is to bring a sense of community and belonging to new mums across Worcestershire. We know from mums posting in our Facebook group, that isolation and loneliness amongst new mums is a massive issue, so we want to help.

We are specifically targeting areas where services are often lacking, ensuring that isolated, disadvantaged, or vulnerable families have access to high-quality local support.
