A NEW group designed to offer mothers an opportunity to get together and share food and conversation will be launched on Friday 6 March.<\/p>\n

The Ballarat Mums Supper Club will take place at the Vickers Street Community Hub in Sebastopol from 5.30pm to 8pm.<\/p>\n

Tickets are $10 and are available through Humanitix.<\/p>\n

The club is an initiative of Anna Kingston, the founder of Tiny Fork, a new project based on helping mothers better feed their children.<\/p>\n

“Food has always been a connector,” Ms Kingston said. “Somewhere along the way, feeding kids became tense and wrapped up in pressure \u2013 I wanted to help shift that.”<\/p>\n

With a background in children’s catering, Ms Kingston said she created Tiny Fork to encourage curiosity, play and shared experiences rather than focusing on rules or perfection when it comes to children’s food.<\/p>\n

“I didn’t want food to feel like something parents had to enforce,” Ms Kingston said.<\/p>\n

“I wanted to create experiences where connection comes first, and healthy food naturally becomes part of that.”<\/p>\n

With the Ballarat Mums Supper Club, Ms Kingston is now applying that philosophy to parents.<\/p>\n

She said the Sebastopol event would create a relaxed, judgement-free space where children are welcome but where mothers can sit, chat, listen or simply enjoy being with others like them.<\/p>\n

“It’s not about networking or having it all together,” Ms Kingston said. “It’s about removing as many barriers as possible so mums can just come, sit down and connect.”<\/p>\n

The inaugural evening is open to mothers throughout Ballarat and surrounding areas.<\/p>\n

It will include a simple vegetarian meal, children’s activity tables and family-friendly features like wheelchair access, baby changing facilities and a breastfeeding nook.<\/p>\n

Children under five will eat for free and doors will open at 5.15pm.<\/p>\n
