Village KitsEverything you need to start a circle
Templates you can read online, print, or copy into your own documents. Start with the founding kit, then add whatever your circle wants to share.
Founding kit
Find two or three mothers, hold a first meeting, and agree what your circle is for. This is all you need to get going.
Advice circle kit
A simple format for a monthly evening of honest talk, with topic ideas from choosing a donor to wills and guardianship. Great for women still deciding.
Babysitting swap kit
A time-bank: sit for an hour, earn an hour. Women who aren't mothers yet can bank hours for later. Only start once everyone has gone through the safety checklist.
Village plan
Who's your birth partner? Who brings meals in week one? Who takes your child if you're ill? Write it down and share it with your circle.
Co-living kit
Sharing a home is the biggest step. Do it with mothers you've already swapped babysitting with for months, start with a trial period, and write everything down.
Started one?
Add your circle to the directory so other mothers nearby can find you. We only list a city and neighbourhood and a contact, never a home address.
