Our very own grand designs ...

You’ve probably realised that the Mummo website is still in its early days. For it to really work, it has to do what you need it to do, and it has to be used by as many mums as possible. You can help us make Mummo amazing by:

• inviting all your mum friends and contacts to join us
• choosing to advertise here
• helping to grow Mummo Knowhow by sharing your own experience and expertise
• actively promoting Mummo in your local community, and wherever you go
• posting family-friendly work opportunities here, or encouraging your employer to do so
• being a regular contributor to the website

As for the future, well, we’ve got big ambitions. Our first target is to sign up at least 10,000 members by the end of 2008. In addition, we want to ensure that:

• we work hand in hand with existing parenting websites to provide mothers with the support they need as individuals and as mums
• Mummo is recommended to all new mums as a way of helping them to look after themselves, enjoy motherhood and stay sane!
• we build strong links with the key organisations supporting women with postnatal illness, so that they can take advantage of the opportunities offered by Mummo
• Mummo Knowhow becomes a comprehensive, well recognised and well respected source of specialist advice online, reflecting the myriad varied skills and talents of our members
• Mummo Marketplace becomes a ‘Yellow Pages’ for anyone wanting to find a mum in business (on the grounds that, where possible, many mums would rather give their business to another mum than to a faceless corporation)
• Mummo becomes a well recognised and well respected source of genuinely flexible, family-friendly work opportunities

And, because we believe that real life takes place in the real world, not in cyberspace, we also plan to introduce Mummo Get2Gethers ... a chance for you to meet each other face-to-face.
