Drumroll… We’re so excited to announce that the brand new and improved Mothership is now open – this is our membership programme for working mums.

What to expect from a Keeping in Touch day
Employees can work for up to ten days whilst on maternity, paternity, adoption or parental leave without impacting their leave or pay. These are called Keeping in Touch days and are completely optional, agreed by both parties prior. But what can you expect from doing one of these days and why would you bother?

Returning to work after maternity leave – support is available!
“You don’t know what you don’t know” is a line which rings so true for me when it comes to returning to work after maternity leave. And I definitely didn’t know I was going to find it so hard. Looking for support and struggling five years ago was the catalyst for me to design and then launch Rock Your Return. A place … Read More

I guess due to the algorithms and the like this probably makes sense (anyone else get very confused by all this?) It was my immediate reaction to … Read More

I was thrilled that Ali agreed to tell us her story, not just because she is clearly so talented with words but because she reflects on changes that I … Read More
We must educate our children on The Women’s March
