Your neighbourhood needs you! (and you could WIN prizes!)

Hi Madeformummers!

Hope you all had a fab Easter weekend and that the Easter bunny was good to you all!

Just a quick question - have you visited your MFM neighbourhood yet?

It's brand NEW and there are plenty that already have Community Managers (like myself - Im CM for Sunderland) who are mad keen to say hello and welcome you to what's going on near you.

ALSO MFM are running incentives (that's PRIZES to you and me image ) - you could WIN magazine subscriptions or even £30!! To find out how please contact your Community Manager (click on the 'get in touch' link in the Community Manager box) to register.

See you soon, Angie x

Was lovely to meet new mums n their lil 1s and also to have some adult time and get out of the house. We were blessed with lovely warm weather and there was lots of lil kiddies varying from age 9 -2months! The morning was lovely! i hope there will be more. Also Its good to looking on the listing to see what's on in my area and to see where people have eaten and enjoyed.

    Hi Sian

    it's Mandy Hunt here, I work for MadeForMums and look after the Community Managers. We just completed the recruitment of 16 new community managers, but we'll start another round soon. Please email me your details (Name, postcode, Neighbourhood) and I'll put you on the list.

    In the mean time, please join in Your Neighbourhood, and list and post discussions. If things take off quickly I will be more than happy to fast track the recruitment process.

    Best

    Hi All

    I am CM for both Great Yarmouth and Waveney. I have five children aged 2 to 13 and will be giving birth quickly and easily (I hope!) in six weeks to baby number six.
    Anyone from the beautiful East, please sign up to the neighbourhood, it feels pretty lonely talking to myself, I need some company in the neighbourhood.

    Hi Sarah

    Started as CM couple of weeks ago, but am finding it much easier now the children are back at school! Have started putting the posters in local children's centres and i'm hoping my midwife will distribute a few when I see her Friday.
    I feel great at the moment, I have girl,boy,girl,boy,girl but we chose not to find out the sex of this one, so a nice surprise!

    Enjoying being a CM, just wish there were some more people in the neighbourhoods, there seem to be so many people that post on the forums, but no-one really signing up to their area. Oh well, will just keep pestering, next target the local preschools..

    Hi All,

    I am Amanda, I started as a CM for Tameside just a few weeks ago so just finding my feet. I have started to put posters up and give out cards to spread the word. School Holidays are a bit hectic though so hoping to get more involved now!

    Just starting to add plenty of listings about things to do in my area as I noticed it is pretty bare.

    Is there an area where we can contact our local members with update emails does anybody know?

    Take Care

    Hi Sarah,

    we had it in the park (Sutton Park) we had a bubble machine for the little ones which went down well, cup cakes for all, fresh fruit and snake balloon things for balloon races for slightly bigger children.

    there was a coffee hatch/shop at the park, A childrens play area and a fenced safe grassed area for them to run about in.

    It went well and everyone had a fab time. Can't wait to do it again!

    If you are a Birmingham mum, drop me a message if you are interested in earning a subscription ( just 30 neighbourhood posts/reviews/discussions )

    I'm on here lots and love a natter, would love for more people to be able to win some prizes for longest thread ect, you do need to register with me though so we can log your posts. Exciting times!
