Our Impact

At Themumpillar, we are committed to making a meaningful difference in the lives of black mums in the UK. Through a variety of workshops, seminars, community initiatives, and partnerships, we have a supportive and empowering environment. Here’s a glimpse into the impact we’ve had:

£100 Support Initiative

For over a year, we have been supporting a mum with £100 monthly to help with food expenses amidst the high cost of living. This initiative rotates to a different mum each month, providing much-needed financial relief.

Monthly Gifts

In our effort to support each other, we initiated a gift-giving program where mums can post items such as clothes, shoes, car seats, strollers, baby stuff and more. Other mums in need can pick these up for free, nurturing a sense of community and sharing.

We actively support mums who offer products or services by allowing them to advertise and share in our group. This initiative has led to increased patronage and referrals, helping to grow their businesses and create a network of support within the community.

Support for Mumpreneurs

Community Programs

Partnerships for Training

We have partnered with a training organization that provided full project management training to one of our mums in the UK. Additionally, another training platform offered a 50% discount for two of our mums to enhance their skills. We are continuously seeking more partnerships to provide further opportunities for our members.

Mentorship Program

Our mentorship program is highly insightful and valuable, offering guidance and support to mums in various aspects of life and career development.

We also offer childcare for one another within the community at no charge, helping mums to balance their responsibilities and find time for themselves.

Childcare Support

Mental Health Workshops

We understand the challenges of motherhood and have organized workshops on managing exhaustion, stress, and overall mental health. Led by a psychiatrist, these sessions have provided valuable strategies and support to help mums prioritize their mental well-being.

Physical Health Initiatives

Our general physical health seminar, presented by a UK-based medical doctor, covered essential health topics for mums. Additionally, we launched a month-long daily walking challenge, encouraging mums to stay active. The positive feedback we received showed increased physical activity and improved well-being among participants.

To empower our mums financially, we hosted a seminar on investing, saving, and budgeting, conducted by a finance expert. This session equipped mums with practical financial knowledge, helping them to manage their finances better and plan for a secure future.
