Parents2B
Are you expecting a baby?
Come along to Parents2B, meet our friendly team of Early Years Practitioners and find out how Southwark Family Hubs can support you and your family during pregnancy and beyond.
You’ll also have the opportunity to connect with other expectant parents, and make a black and white book, a shaker and mobile for your baby.
This session is all about connection, support, and preparation.
Here’s what you can expect:
Discover Local Support Services
Learn about what’s available in Southwark, including:
Baby playgroups and activities
Breastfeeding and health services
Wellbeing and mental health support
Referrals to other services
Advice on sourcing baby essentials including how to access financial support
Creative Time
Take part in a relaxed crafting session where you can make a black and white book, a shaker, and a mobile for your baby — perfect for stimulating early development and bonding.
Build Your Support Network
Pregnancy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to go through it alone. This is a great chance to meet other parents-to-be, share experiences, build friendships, and create a support system that lasts beyond birth.
Support for Dads Too
We’re passionate about making sure fathers feel included and supported. We work closely with local fatherhood initiatives to connect dads with groups and services that understand their needs and experiences.
Looking After You
We’ll also be sharing tips on looking after your own wellbeing — because when parents are supported, babies thrive. Whether it’s practical help or just someone to talk to, we’re here for you.

Expectant parents of all backgrounds — mums, dads, co-parents, solo parents — all are welcome!
