During school term times, we run weekly coffee morning talks together with KinderGifts at b_together on St John’s Wood High Street or at The Cherish Club on Bridgeman Street (just off St John’s Wood High Street). We cover a large range of topics. As before, our talks are free to attend, however we continue raising money for charities chosen by each week’s speaker through the KinderGifts platform. We ask our attendees to make a donation to the charity that week’s speaker has chosen. Over the years, thanks to everyone who has attended our talks, we have raised quite a lot of money for a big range of charities from well-known ones like BBC Children In Need to small and very local ones. As always, please be in touch if there is a topic you are keen on and we will try to find a speaker.

All talks take place in person during school term times on Thursdays at 10-11 am unless otherwise specified. ** HYBRID TALK = Joint in-person and Zoom. Please scroll down for our schedule.

Anya of KinderGifts and Karin and Zehra of NW8-mums love seeing familiar and new faces at our coffee mornings. Our talks are informal and relaxed, children are welcome unless specified and you can comfortably breastfeed.

Below is our schedule for winter, spring and summer terms of 2025. More information and invitations to individual talks will be announced via newsletters, in the WhatsApp groups and on Instagram closer to the talk itself.
