By clicking on 'Start a meet-up' now you can access funding to spend in the ways you choose to organise your meet-ups, whether it’s booking in a childminder for the afternoon, covering transport or venue hire costs, or laying on the best ever coffee and cake spread. Click the 'Start a meet-up' button to get started. This is a first come first served opportunity!

Invite five or more parents and caregivers to meet-up, share and support each other. By starting a meet-up, you will become the leader of your group and be responsible for organising your meet-ups and spending your funding.

All of the members of the meet-up will also receive 12 months of free premium access to the EasyPeasy app – an app for parents and caregivers with children aged 0-5. The app brings together the best ideas, advice, and inspiration from a global community of parents, experts, and parenting brands. In your meet-ups you'll be encouraged to create and share some of your own ideas on the EasyPeasy app, too.

The benefits of setting up your own meet-up include:

• Access to funding
• 12 month Premium subscription to the EasyPeasy app
• Support from your peers
• Opportunities for your child to learn through play
• Support for your child's early development
• Feeling more connected to your community
