Muslim Village

We started our Muslim Village project to provide culturally-aligned support to Muslim families from pregnancy to the first years of life. Muslim Village promotes conscious motherhood and attachment parenting, breastfeeding and embracing one’s culture whilst offering a range of free services.

We are made up of Muslim mothers and volunteers in the UK, who have lived experience of navigating maternity and postnatal care in the UK that isn’t always inclusive of our faith & cultural identity. We are trained volunteers who understand your needs and help you get through pregnancy, postnatal, breastfeeding and early parenting, whilst holding on to your culture and faith.

We currently have 3 groups running, as well as a WhatsApp community group and an Instagram page. We also offer other free support including access to our comprehensive antenatal course, Bump To Baby.

For the second time, we will be running monthly, educational and support sessions for pregnant women in Nottingham.

Starting from Sept 2025, these will be run every 2nd Monday at month 11.30am – 1pm by trained professionals and volunteers:

9th Sept- Birth planning & choices

14th Oct – Postnatal recovery

11th Nov – Pain management

9th Dec – Preparing to breastfeed

13th Jan – Emotional wellbeing

They’ll be held at Hyson Green Family Hub at Mary Potter Health Centre and you can book your place by clicking on the link below. Any questions, please get in touch through the contact page here.

Although these sessions are free, we rely heavily on funding and volunteers, so please use the option to donate if you can. Or you can donate by clicking here

FINALLY A space for Muslim mums and children in Nottingham to connect in a culturally safe space to discuss and get guidance on:

Are you a mum or mum-to-be?

Do you want a safe space to talk to other sisters who are also pregnant, breastfeeding or going through their motherhood journey?

If so our Milky Mornings is the place for you!

We are a non-judgemental and welcoming space for sisters looking for support in motherhood and early parenting advice!

We also offer specific guidance for mums who are planning on breastfeeding or having breastfeeding challenges by our trained peer supporters.

Join us for all things motherhood and more every Thursday 11am – 12pm online!

We’re also always looking for volunteers, so if you have at least 2 hours to spare a month to support Muslim families, please get in touch here!
