WoW Enterprise Club
WoW Mums have formed the first Enterprise Club in Wandsworth in September 2012 to help local mothers set up their small businesses and become self-employed. We have been supported by Job Centre Plus with a small grant to set up this club. With the help of relevant speakers and our collective networking and brainstorming, we have helped several Mums to start with their ideas for self-employment. Our enterprise club workshops are on every second Friday of the month from 11am to 1pm in 200 Pennethorne House, SW11 2SH.

WoW Donation to York Gardens Library
WoW Mums are very pleased to have been able to raise £3200.00 for the friends of the York Gardens Library charity in one year, by organising Drama and Taekwondo classes for local children, generously funded by Thomas’s Schools Foundation. Deputy Mayor Nicola Nardelli commented that WoW Mums always deliver what they set out to do and fulfill their promises.
Sonia Mills, Chair of Friends of York Gardens Library charity accepted the cheque and said that it will be used to support the free GCSEs tutoring in the library amongst other services for local children.

Opening of York Gardens Library
WoW Mums have attended the opening of York Gardens Library last night after the refurbishment of downstairs and upstairs library rooms. We are very delighted that our campaign to save this library has been such a big success for the benefit of the whole community.
Battersea Park Adventure Playground
Wandsworth Council is planning to start charging children £2.50 to play in Adventure Playground from Saturday, 2nd July 2011. We have organised a peaceful protest by offering free face painting to children who cannot pay to play. The children will interview other children, film the event and produce a DVD from 11am. Bring a picnic and your children.
We are jubilant that we have to cancel this event, because the Council decided not to charge entrance fee from July 2011.

Campaign Against Pay to Play
Wandsworth Borough Council is planning to charge £2.50 for our children to play in Battersea Park Adventure Playground from October 2011. We think charging children to play is unfair, instead we should be encouraging children to stay active. Please sign our petition if you oppose this decision. Copy and paste this link please:
