**What the charity does:** Mum and Me is a local project that aims, within a group setting, to support Mums in Angus to improve their parenting skills, minimize their social isolation, improve their wellbeing and equip them to manage their day to day lives. Mum and Me provides 75 group spaces over 5 sessions term time only. Whilst mums attend group, their children are cared for in a creche. It allows the mums time and space to fully engage in the program. We also run a Mum without Me fortnightly evening session for mums who have returned to work or children who have moved onto school or nursery. Mums expressed a need to continue with the emotional support and friendship the group provided.
