MYMAMA LAUNCHES THE PARENT SPACE TO SUPPORT NEW PARENTS

MyMama has officially launched The Parent Space, a new community initiative aimed at supporting and connecting new parents across Naxxar and surrounding localities. The project was inaugurated on Thursday 12 February at the Naxxar Local Council.

Developed by MyMama in collaboration with the Naxxar Local Council and Bank of Valletta, and supported by My Favourite Things, the initiative offers free weekly meetups for new parents and their babies. The sessions provide a safe and welcoming space where families can connect, share experiences and build friendships within their community.

The response has been overwhelming, with more than 70 applications submitted within just a few days of the launch. This strong interest highlights the growing need for accessible support during the early stages of parenthood, a period often marked by isolation and uncertainty.

Founder Donna Cardona described the project as a timely response to the increasing challenges faced by Maltese families, while coordinator Christina Gauci emphasised the importance of rebuilding a “village” of support around parents. Naxxar Mayor Dr Chris Deguara also praised the initiative, reaffirming the council’s commitment to placing families at the heart of the community.
