WN6 Mums - FB parents’ group, north-west Wigan

New mums, parents/carers of pre-schoolers and anyone who wants to pop by: this event is the first in what will hopefully be a regular hub in #Shevington:

@WWLNHS @ShevCommunity We are welcoming health visitors to this event, hope local parents can attend. Please spread the word!

Student Midwife, Athalia, has gone above and beyond by supporting new parents who are less fortune and can't afford the essentials for their babies at WWL. The baskets include clothing, toiletries & nappies all packed into a moses basket, providing a safe space to sleep too👶

If you can make up a shoebox full of goodies for families in need in #Wigan this Xmas, please consider donating to @ShoeboxFairies. The collection point in #Shevington is the Plough & Harrow pub. Ideas for gifts on the pics — think stationery, sweets, smellies etc. @ShevCommunity

Thank you to all our families who have donated to @ShoeboxFairies 😊 It has been wonderful to see everyone coming together to spread some Christmas joy 🎄❤ #stjosephswright @WigToday @StandishVoice

@MartinSLewis @itvMLshow Christmas is what you make it — it doesn’t have to cost a lot or be stressful. If we stop expecting perfection (kids included) and just enjoy the holiday season, we’d all be the better for it.

Tonight’s poll in conjunction with @itvMLshow Christmas Special 8pm. If there was a big red CANCEL CHRISTMAS button so you’d still get time off work, but it’d cancel the festivities & presents, would you press it? Vote below and let us know your thoughts using #MartinLewis
