The Parents Lounge was created by a group of young moms in the Freeman/Saffron Lane estate who were looking for a space where they could socialize, learn, and support each other. Many of these moms were struggling with boredom, financial stress, isolation, and anxiety. The Parents Lounge was created to combat these issues by providing a comfortable space for moms and their children to gather and enjoy fun activities together.

The Parents Lounge provided crucial support to parents in the Saffron Lane and Eyres Monsell estates, offering opportunities to apply for work, further education classes, and gain essential skills such as food and hygiene or first aid qualifications. These skills and certifications.
