Today, parents went on strike ✊

Kin Works was proud to stand with parents, families and organisations at the Parent Strike, making visible the work that parents do every single day and calling for a future where families are better supported.

Kin Works is a grassroots collective of working parents campaigning for a Scotland where families are properly supported to work, care and thrive.

We want to see a Scotland where having children doesn’t mean putting your career on hold or struggling to make work and family life fit. That means better parental leave and pay, genuinely flexible working, affordable childcare and policies shaped around the realities of family life.

Today it was powerful to be part of something bigger. Across the UK, parents and families came together to say that the current system isn’t working, and that things need to change.

Want to continue helping make a difference? We meet monthly to support each other, share ideas and take action together.

Your voice matters. Come and join us.

✨ Our next 6-week Parent Support Group starts 13 August and bookings are now open.

Early parenthood can be beautiful, but it can also feel overwhelming, lonely or emotionally challenging. Whatever you're experiencing, you don't have to navigate it alone. 💛

Join a small, supportive group where you can:
🤍 Connect with other parents who understand
🤍 Share as much or as little as feels right
🤍 Explore ways to support your wellbeing
🤍 Feel more confident and grounded in yourself and your parenting

Facilitated by Katalin Thomann, Perinatal Counsellor & Psychotherapist, this is a gentle peer support group for women and birthing parents with a baby under 12 months. You're welcome to attend with or without your baby.

We encourage attending all six sessions where possible to help build trust and connection within the group.

This group is best suited to parents who feel they would benefit from gentle emotional support in a group setting. If it seems that you would benefit from more tailored or specialist support, we're happy to help guide you towards services that may be a better fit.

✨ Starts 13 August. Places are limited—book now via the link in our bio.

A new month can bring fresh energy, but it can also bring pressure to do more, be more, or somehow have it all figured out.

Nature reminds us that every season has value.

There are seasons of growth and seasons of rest.
Seasons that feel full of sunshine and ease.
And seasons that feel a little more challenging.

Parenting is no different.

The joyful days belong.
The messy days belong.
The moments of confidence and the moments of doubt belong too.

Together, they make up the story of your family—the beautifully imperfect, wonderfully real story that is uniquely yours.

As we step into a new month, may you give yourself permission to embrace it all. 💛

✨ Kin Begins starts 10th August ✨

If you're in your third trimester, join us for Kin Begins – a free six-week wellbeing programme designed to help you slow down, connect with other local parents-to-be and prepare for life with your little one. 💛

Together we'll explore mindfulness, emotional wellbeing, birth preparation and building your village in a warm, supportive space. Plus, once your babies arrive, you'll reunite with the same group for postnatal sessions to stay connected through those early weeks. 🤍

📍 Kin Collective, Leith St James
🕕 Mondays at 6pm
📅 Starts 10th August
✨ Free to attend thanks to funding from Leith Chooses and the Leith Community.

Spaces are limited—we'd love to welcome you.

The days can feel long when you're in the thick of parenting.

There's always another job to do, another place to be, another thing on the list.

But sometimes the most important moments are the ones we almost rush past.

The extra cuddle before bed.
The made-up story that goes nowhere.
The walk that takes twice as long because little legs stop to notice everything.

These moments may seem ordinary now, but they are quietly weaving themselves into the memories of childhood.

This July, may we all find a little more space to slow down, stay a little longer, and savour the magic hidden in the everyday. ☀️💛
