Greenwich Parents & Carers (GPC) Community Interest Company (CIC) is a volunteer-run social enterprise made up of parents and carers of young families living in or local to Greenwich (London, UK). Launched in 2021 during the pandemic lockdown, we provide spaces for members to connect, share new parenthood experiences, and chat casually about baby/child related topics. Over the years we expanded and now publish a weekly “What’s On Guide”, host free weekly Mum & Baby meetups (all carers welcome), monthly Mums in Business Networking meetups, and organise other community events including a Summer Fair. We now have over 1,500 members. Our goal is to create community, celebrate local families and support local businesses.

Our Founder - Aster Thackery
Aster loves meeting people and bringing people together. Originally from New Zealand, she moved to London 12 years ago. She lives in Greenwich with her Irish husband and their two kids. Recognising that people often find it difficult to make meaningful connections in London, Aster has sought to create spaces and opportunities that encourage connections to happen. She is constantly awed by the talent that is present in the community. When she is not doing admin tasks, she is working in foreign direct investment and economic development. Aster is a feminist and women's rights advocate.
