The Unlikely Mummy is an award-winning organisation which started off as a blogging site to moan about being a mum. There was clearly a need for a certain parental provision, and I saw that the conversations I was having to what started off as a small reach of 500 people was effective. I took the opportunity to expand on my previous a ‘pop up’ family and wellbeing market, where 16 local businesses brought a table to showcase their business but support a growing community of families. This saw over 300 families visit all taking away vital information and support. One mum said “Kavita has shown me that I am not alone and there is support available to me. Business owners have said “Kavita has created such an amazing community, and I am proud to be a part of this”. This has now moved to an online ad-hoc support for local business and community groups, due to the nature of the environment and the change in demand. In total I have successfully run three face to face markets over 30 different businesses, with many returning back for the second and third market, reaching over 300+ families with many visiting more than once and investing their money and belief that the community is able to support. In addition to this, I ran a retreat for mums for their wellbeing, activities included, yoga, journalling, massage, spiritual readings. The day was a huge success, and many asked for it to happen again. The Unlikely Mummy also created resources and self-care opportunities and created a Mindfulness Booked filled with activities to be able to give confidence and self-belief, this was designed and created and sold online and at event. These books have been given to midwives and health visitors to show new mums that help is available if needed and as a result, local doctors recommend speaking to The Unlikely Mummy. One mum messaged to say “My GP told me to come and speak with you as I am struggling with my mental Health”. I have been invited to record several podcasts talking about the impact of parenting and culture on mental health and how I would protect myself from any triggers. As an award-winning organisation, this has allowed me to campaign for National Charities such as National Childbirth Trust, where I spoke on BBC Women’s Hour and Channel 5 evening news asking for all mums to have a 6-8 check, The Unlikely Mummy ensured all new mums now receive this. In additional, I have spoken on LBC Radio discussing the impact social media has on Mental Health and as a result, I move some online workshops to face to face such as the Danson’s Mums Meet Up – I created this concept to allow mums a safe place to meet up weekly and just talk. “Kavita has been a key community champion and always puts other first”. I have also featured on podcasts that talk about the struggles, the barriers and the loneliest of parenting, and as a result, many people reach out to me as my story is relatable. The Unlikely Mummy has an online reach of 4000+ with an engagement reach of over 20,000+. The Organisation has an in person reach of 2000+ through various events and activities, talks and networking. A lot of the reach is talking and offering advice and support for ‘free’ The work being done isn’t going unnoticed, as the local MP for the area, Abena Oppong-Asare mentioned Kavita Trevena, The Unlikely Mummy in her Internationals Women’s Speech at the Houses of Common, talking about the positive work the organisation is doing with mums and mental health and the recently the King and Queen recognised the work the Organisation is doing through the Coronation Champions Award through the Royal Voluntary Service. The Unlikely Mummy started off small but is slowly growing and adapting to the needs of the community.
The Organisation has many stakeholders from local business, funders like Sport England and Exercise Movement and Dance, two local councils, the Integrated Care Board (NHS), Bromley Health Care where I have been a consultant to improve their service offer. Working with Children Centres and local community libraries, Maternity Voices partnerships, organisations and Research facilities to gain valuable insight into to community engagement and need. I have formed positive relations with the community providers to offer in-kind venue space to provide outreach for the market events and workshops such as mums wellbeing and yoga. I have had referrals from Midwives, health visitors and doctors recommending The Unlikely Mummy as a community person to reach out to and talk to. All of the families I have worked with are stakeholders as they shape what the organisation does through open consultation, feedback, polls, surveys to shape the offers. Both the Directors are local mums with local businesses, come from a teaching or nursery background, the knowledge and experience they bring, also bring in additional stakeholders into the community. Proving valuable support via counselling and bespoke programmes. I have also used social media tools as a way of capturing what positive work being done and feeding this back through engagement posts and advertising all the possible opportunities.
