The community centre created by a group of mums that's now thousands of pounds in debt and struggling to survive

When Staci Sylvan, 44, had her first child in her 20s, she wanted to make friends with other mums but struggled to find somewhere clean and suitable for them to meet and catch-up for a coffee.

Their babies wanted to play and crawl on the floor rather than sit in highchairs and Staci said her group of mum friends would cause chaos in coffee shops and pubs whenever they met up with their kids.

Deciding to create their own space that was clean, safe and perfect for parents to hang out in, they rented out the upstairs of a health food shop in Carmarthen and hosted yoga classes and other events as well as offering signposting to mental health services to parents.
