Make new friends
Having a baby and looking after young children can be an isolating experience, which is why joining the Ealing 135 Groups and getting involved in our activities means you'll have a whole group of new friends nearby.
Depending on the ages of your children, if you've just moved to the area or have had your first or second baby, you might like to meet up with people going through the same experience as you.
We run several small, friendly groups for members where you can chat over a coffee and get to know other local parents or carers.
-
