What is Gathered?
Gathered brings together our members to discuss their honest experiences of parenthood and support one another through the inevitable highs and lows.
You’ll meet the same parents on a regular basis, discussing everything from generational differences in parenting, to our experience of time, to relationships and sharing the mental load. As one of our members described it, it’s bit like a book club, but with no book to read. You just turn up with your own experiences and thoughts, to share or to listen, laugh, cry or anything in between.You can find out our current theme on our instagram.
As well as coming to weekly or monthly Gatherings, you’ll join our online, private, curated app to connect, get advice, ask questions and share ideas; receive a weekly podcast to spark discussions and be invited to join social events, and book parenting consultations and motherhood mentoring as needed.
Membership fees range from £20-£58 per month, with subsidies for those who need them and a hardship scheme for members facing temporary financial difficulties. We offer up to 3 taster sessions to help you settle in as a new member, so come along to find out more.
Who are we?
Our community started as a parent and baby park walk during the Covid lockdowns, when enforced social distancing highlighted just how vital local friendship and support is to our wellbeing and mental health as parents. Since then, Gathered has grown and evolved. We now offer (thankfully indoor!) weekly or monthly in-person meetings in three different locations, SE22, SE19 or SE27. Find out more about our story here.
Our team of faciltators has grown organically over time, often with members deciding they would like to become more involved in the community.
