The Wee Retreat

With all the excitement and nerves of getting this campaign up and running I forgot to mention that The Wee Retreat will be supporting and supported by stay-at-home parents.

Through our Social Responsibility Scheme, a range of opportunities will be available that will support stay-at-home parents with challenges they face such as social isolation, fear of returning to work, lack of intellectual stimulation and financial constraints. It is my hope that through this scheme, The Wee Retreat will make it possible for stay-at-home parents to fulfil their commitment to parenting and at the same time retain -or regain- their own identity as an individual.

I know from my personal experience the lack of opportunities and support for stay-at-home parents and feel it's about time we break down social constructs about the right way to parent and support individuals in the way they choose to parent, whether that be full time stay-at-home, working part time or full time. Being a parent is tough enough, we don't need to add to it!
