The Hug is a community group focused on parents, we care about their wellbeing and mental health. It is a safe, non-judgmental, inclusive project where the aim is to cater to the needs of the attendees, allowing discussions and offering help.

We welcome any parent of any age group, Children are welcomed as well. Our group is mostly attended by mothers between 20 and 45 years old, their children are usually below 5 years old. 

We provide emotional and practical support. Signposting to services, individual support when needed. We listen and welcome parents’ problems, questions and concerns, we discuss about what parents feel relevant or we propose some discussion topics.

We use Zoom for now, but hope to welcome back parents at the Gascoigne Children Centre at some point in the future.

Every Monday at 11 am

Participants can write an email to thehugbarking@gmail.com to receive the Zoom link
