Mother’s Day morning tea warms hearts at Hudson Road Family Centre

Home grown community group Bunbury Mum’s Movement and Hudson Road Family Centre joined forces to host a heart warming morning tea for Mother’s Day on Friday. The day was enjoyed by the group of mums and bubs who attended, with a few fathers heading along to celebrate as well. Lauren Brown said she and her friends had been apart of the group for the past year and told the Herald the sense of community had helpful in navigating motherhood. “Having a community is really nice” she said. “It takes a village.” Bunbury Mum’s Movement was started when founder Ebony Beresford had her first child at 17-years-old. It is now has an army of Instagram followers and a Facebook page with meet-ups every day of the week so women and families always have a place to go. The group has empowered other women to start sub-groups in their local communities with one in Busselton, and international groups in New Zealand and Texas. Ms Beresford said she is passionate about the community she has created, with local businesses “incredibly generous” by donating more than $3000 in prizes for the day’s raffles and catering.
