Hi, I’m Rochelle, a single mum of four, living with Sickle Cell Anaemia, and someone who deeply understands how hard parenting can be when you’re facing illness, stress, or limited support.

I’m raising funds to bring my vision to life: The Village a warm, inclusive soft play café and wellness hub for families in Haringey, North London.

The Village will offer more than just play. It will be a place to pause and connect with soft play for the kids, a café for parents to relax in, and access to affordable wellness sessions like yoga, sound baths, parenting workshops, and peer support.

We’re also building in space for real, practical support including domestic abuse counselling, mental health check-ins, and wraparound childcare because too many families are falling through the gaps.

This project was inspired by my own experiences navigating parenthood through illness and isolation, and by the many stories I’ve heard from other parents who simply need somewhere safe to go.

Your donation will help us:

• Secure our venue

• Install soft play equipment

• Fit out the café and wellness space

• Launch support services for families in need

No matter the amount, your support will help us build something truly life changing for the community.

Thank you for helping us create The Village, because no one should have to do it all alone
