Mothers At Home Matter Annual Conference - Reclaiming Motherhood

Mothers At Home Matter Annual Conference - Reclaiming Motherhood

How have we reached a point where mothers are only counted for their economic activity, where care is seen as a burden and children as obstacles to our careers?

The time has come to tell a new story.

Join the conversation as we come together on our 35th Anniversary of Mothers at Home Matter to re-evaluate the work of mothering; gain a deeper understanding of the needs of our children and explore how we can create a society where mothers, families and society can flourish.

There will be an early bird option available for those who book their tickets in September and an online option for anyone who would prefer to join remotely.

We welcome babies and children at our conference. There will be a side room with a screen and live link to watch the conference and some toys and space for your children to play. Please ensure you purchase a free of charge ticket for babies and a child ticket is priced at £4.

Join us for a day filled with insightful discussions and networking opportunities all centered around the importance of motherhood. Where mothers from all walks of life can come together to celebrate and empower each other.
