Join a Million Mums on the Net!

NETMUMS IS A UNIQUE WEBSITE AND SOCIAL NETWORK with over 1 million members that contains a wealth of information and advice on being a mum (or dad!). It includes ‘families’ of local websites including a Netmums East Riding website which includes information on parenting as well as ideas on things to do and where to go in the area.

"Netmums is one of the biggest parenting websites in the UK with over one million members and 18,000 new members joining up each month. Membership is free and immediate and members' details and email addresses will never be passed on to anyone else." Statement on Netmums

Since being set up in 2000, Netmums has also become an effective forum and campaigning voice for parents, bringing together their collective opinion. Netmums states that its Mission is:

• To help families have fun with and enjoy their children
• To bring people together to make our local communities more lively and friendly
• To make it unnecessary for any mum to feel lonely or isolated
• To make sure every parent has access to all of the local support and advice available - from other mothers and from professionals
• To give mothers a voice, locally and nationally, on issues of importance

Netmums has a Parent Bloggers Network which was set up at the beginning of this month. The Bloggers Network gives advice on starting and maintaining a Blog and offers benefits from being part of such a large network. The new Network also hopes to create opportunities for parent bloggers to do paid-for product reviews or otherwise provide essential feedback to companies that supply products or services for parents.

You have to register to become a member of Netmums, but this is free and you will be joining thousands of others who regularly read and comment on the network - an estimated 400,000 comments are added to Netmums each month! You can also choose to be sent regular information by e-mail from the Netmums regional coordinators.

If you are a parent in the Holderness area - then you can only benefit from being a member of the phenomenon that is Netmums!
