Mothers Matter has been a vital support hub for women, men and their families across South Wales, offering free mental health support, baby and toddler groups, parenting classes, counselling, well-being hubs, educational classes and a safe space for mums, dads, and carers, including their children to simply breathe.
Now, our Tonypandy parenting centre is at risk of closing and with it, hundreds of families could lose a service that they rely on every single day.
We urgently need your support.
If you believe parents deserve somewhere to turn to, be safe, be heard, be seen and be empowered, sign this petition to help us show decision-makers and funders just how much this centre means to our community!
Let’s stand together to protect a safe space that puts families first.
Your signature matters and could make all the difference.

Having been a worker in a children's centre I know what a vital resource these spaces are, helping parents spot any issues early to get intervention needed before school, and crucially giving one another support friendship and laughter, better than any antidepressants the doctor can prescribe.
Please don’t close this down since having my son it’s helped me loads and with my post natal aswell my son loves this group and seeing his friends and playing all the girls in the group are fab and have helped loads it can’t go
The centre offers so much support to mothers as we adjust to our little ones. It is such a tumultuous time, and the centre's sessions help us learn more about ourselves as we adjust to the hormone crash and sleep deprivation, along with how we can best help and entertain our young children
Mothers matter is an amazing place , I volunteered here and the work the girls do is life changing to everyone involved. The centre cannot close!
Mothers matter has been a safe place since having my daughter and without it post partum would have been very lonely and isolating
This is really important space for the local community.
Mother’s matter is such a hub for new and second time mothers. It is such a focal point in the community, from counciling sessions to baby classes.

I attended baby groups at Mother's Matter (when my son was younger) and they create such a lovely, welcoming and safe environment. The groups helped me feel less alone with my struggles as a first time mum. The ladies who work there are so kind and compassionate. This is really needed in Tonypandy!
