Black business of the day: Young Mums Support Network

SUPPORTING YOUNG MUMS: This social enterprise was set up to help struggling mothers in south London and beyond

YOUNG MUMS Support Network is a Community Interest Company (CIC) offering support to struggling mothers in south London and beyond.

Fiona Small set up YMSN in 2011, inspired by facing down her own challenges. Since then, she has been invited to Number 10 Downing Street in 2014, awarded the Lambeth Mayor’s “Selfless Service to the Community” in 2015, and iCare’s “Mother of Magnificence” in 2018.

YMSN has formed partnerships with organisations including the NHS and local authorities, deliver- ing programs that make mothers more confident, skilled, independent and powerful.

Fiona and her team are currently crowdfunding a “Make the House A Home” project on Spacehive.com.
