28 Oct 2024

The Little Hub, a support group for women and mothers across the Wakefield district, is celebrating after being awarded almost £20,000 in National Lottery funding.

The hub, based in Flanshaw, was founded by ex-primary school teacher and Wakefield mum-of-two, Corinna Nicol, 45, and has grown from humble beginnings into a vibrant community space, offering workshops and support sessions.

Corinna founded ‘The Little Hub’ after searching for a permanent space to hold her baby massage classes, following her decision to leave her teaching career.

Her passion for supporting local parents, especially mothers, stems from her own experience of feeling isolated and alone after becoming a mother.

Corinna said: “We’re delighted that The National Lottery Community Fund has recognised our work in this way.

"Now, thanks to National Lottery players we will be able to press on with our plans to broaden the range of opportunities available to local children and their parents.

"I am particularly passionate about supporting maternal mental health and looking to reach out to more parents, particularly mums, in the Wakefield District.”
