Lilies of the Valley opened our drop in centre twice a week for mums and babies as a place where they can chill, and enjoy a fresh coffee/tea and homemade cake. Other mums are also invited to special events – all free of charge... Like the MUM’s PAMPERING DAY last weekend – we started with brunch at 9am – no kids – salmon with cream cheese on blinis, homemade muesli and sweet, creamy yoghurt, sliced fruit and croissants with jam were all on offer! To follow – a facial, an Indian head massage or a chance to beautify nails and hands. We love our mums and wanted to show how much they are valued, and what a good job they are doing. Since half term we are also offering Chatting Mums and MANaging English – opportunities for both men and women (separately) to come along with or without children to practice their English – Lacking in confidence, many with English as a second language, can find life very isolating – making friends and thus gaining better language ability can also be difficult. At No 72 we provide both friendship and help. Keighley College is supporting this initiative. Come in and see us or check our website: www.liliesofthevalley.org.uk.

Loving Mums is open during term time, Wednesday 12:30 - 2:30pm and Friday 10:00am - 12:00pm.
