What is Mum's The Boss?
Mum's The Boss was founded to celebrate the twin achievements of motherhood and business, with the express purpose of providing support through a network of like-minded people, inspirational and informative speakers and a warm and welcoming environment.
5 Key Principles
-
Child-friendly
Meetings are always scheduled within traditional 'pre-school hours' so that mums can do the school run and attend, and do not involve any meal times. Babies and those still requiring milk feeds are welcome and a crèche facility is provided in some locations (for an additional charge).
- Affordable
The costs are kept to a minimum so that it is not an excluding factor for someone at the early stages of their business. We also do not have meetings over meal times which can account for costly meetings, and we use speakers are willing to give their time for free. Meetings can be attended without the need for membership.
- Informal
There is no need to book to attend a meeting; you can just turn up, (unless you require a crèche place). There are no maximum or minimum visits on attendance or regularity at meetings and no 'one per profession' rule. There are no '1 minute' speeches or dress codes. Our aim is to remove all unnecessary barriers to our events
- Supportive
The majority of people who attend are mums and so understand the unique set of challenges that starting and running a business whilst being a mum can bring. Not having a 'one per profession' rule means that people in the same area of business can support each other easily.
- Informative
Each meeting we have a speaker who will offer advice and inspiration in the form of a workshop, talk or discussion. We also provide as much relevant local and national information as possible to both visitors to the meetings and to our website.
Mum's The Boss will welcome anybody to their meetings irrespective of their gender, race, religion, nationality, sexual orientation, disability or age. Equal opportunities policy
