Being new parent(s) is sometimes a lonely time. It is really good to have people to share the parenting journey with. There are a number of groups and agencies in Whanganui but here are some other ideas to get you started. 

1. Go for a walk to the local playground. You will probably meet other Mums/Dads escaping the house and, if they have toddlers, even better as they’ve been here before. 
2. Try the local i-Site to see if they have a list.
3. Check the free community paper for activities.
4. Join local Facebook groups (eg. Whanganui Mummies)
5. Go to the local Library as they often have playgroups and reading/singing time. There may be playgroup information and fliers there. Our librarians are incredibly knowledgeable about their community. 
6. Ask your Plunket nurse.
