“I joined Connect2Mums mid 2009 and have never come across such a wonderfully supportive, helpful and inspiring group of women. The relationships I have established through Connect2Mums have given me strength and encouragement to soldier on in difficult times and the inspiration to reach for the stars and be the best I can be as a mum, a partner and a business owner. Connect2Mums is now an integral part of my life!”
