MEET OUR LOCALS - Walking Mum's Club…

REBECCA – THE LOCAL BEHIND WALKING MUM’S CLUB.

I’m Rebecca, founder of Walking Mum’s Club.

I live in Old Trafford with my husband and our two boys.

Walking Mum’s Club started during a period that felt quite isolating, when I was a new mum
navigating those early days of parenthood and wanting connection, a bit of fresh air and proper
chats. What began as a simple walk with a few mums has grown into a supportive community
helping parents across Manchester feel less alone.

Our walks are free, baby friendly and open to all mums and parents who want some gentle
exercise, fresh air and the chance to meet others who understand the realities of early
parenthood. There’s no pressure, no expectations, just walking and talking together.

Over the past few years, Walking Mum’s Club has grown from one local group into weekly walks
across different Manchester neighbourhoods, supporting more than 2000 parents along the way.
We work closely with local family hubs, midwives and community organisations to make sure
our walks reach families who might need them most, including first time mums, parents new to
the area, and those struggling with confidence or isolation.

What I love most is watching friendships form. Parents arrive nervous and unsure, and within
weeks they’re chatting, laughing and supporting each other beyond the walks. It’s a reminder
that community really does change how we experience parenthood.

Alongside our weekly walks, we also run special events and Walk & Talk sessions with local
experts covering everything from postnatal recovery to baby sleep and mental wellbeing. The
aim is always the same: helping parents feel supported, informed and connected.

Walking Mum’s Club is rooted in Manchester, and we’re proud to walk in local parks and
neighbourhoods that make this city so special. Whether you’re new to parenting or just looking
to meet others nearby, you’re always welcome to join us.
