Due to government guidelines regarding Covid-19, our weekly meetings are postponed until further notice. We will keep you updated when we are able to re-open. Unfortunately we have had to cancel our Family Fun Quiz in March. We will continue to offer support via our social media accounts.
We are a group of women who meet together each week at First Steps Nursery in New Mills, Derbyshire. The aims of the group are to provide support, learn new skills, and work in our community. There is a free creche. The meetings give a chance for child-free time with other mums, to chat, discuss, plan and learn.

Moors for the Future Talk
We recently spent a fascinating morning with Jody from Moors for the Future. We learnt about the power of sphagnum moss and how it's being used to replant areas moorland that have been damaged by industrial pollution. Locally, barren areas of Kinder Scout have been restored by conservation work and planting plug plants of sphagnum moss, which helps to stabilise peat and regrow vegetation.

Map Skills and Navigation
Dave from Fell Running Guide led a really interesting and informative session on map skills for us. We left feeling more confident and empowered to explore our beautiful countryside. Perfect for our next group walk.
