Online business networking for mums across the UK
Expand your network beyond your local netwalk groups—join the Freelance Mum Digital Hub.
In our first 10 years, Freelance Mum supported over 1000 mums in business. In the next decade, we aim to support at least another 100,000 Freelance Mums through a variety of in-person and online networking events.
The Freelance Mum Digital Hub is our online business community, designed to make it easier for FMs across our network to increase connections, get meaningful support and grow their businesses.
Join The Digital Hub
The Digital Hub meet online one afternoon a month, 1PM-2PM GMT, for Freelance Mum-style business networking. Members and those on their 30-day trial can access the Zoom link in The Mothership.
Come along and strengthen your network!
What to expect
Freelance Mum is not about 60-second speeches, but we are serious about supporting our members with business growth. Our Digital Hub networking events pack a lot into an hour of your precious time to ensure you leave with actionable advice, and that ‘I can do anything’ feeling.
The Digital Hub is led by Freelance Mum founder, Faye Dicker.

Why join The Digital Hub?
While we recognise that nothing beats a face-to-face catch-up, we also know that’s sometimes just not possible.
The Digital Hub is designed to fit easily into your schedule (may that be work commitments, the school day or nap time!) and give you all the benefits of attending a hub, without having to travel.
The Digital Hub welcomes all Freelance Mum members from across the UK. It’s ideal for you if:
- You want to expand your network
- Afternoons work better for you
- You want to regularly attend more than one hub (all hubs are included in your membership)
- You’re more comfortable networking online
- You live too far away from our local hubs
- You don’t always have time to make your local netwalk
Accessibility
We strive to be a diverse network that’s inclusive of all freelance mums. The Digital Hub has been designed with accessibility in mind, and to achieve our ambition of promoting connection without barriers.
If you have any accessibility questions or would like to discuss your individual needs, please get in touch.
The Rainbow Rule
Where there’s a rainbow, there’s…coffee on us! Let us explain…If our FMs spot a rainbow when they’re out on a Freelance Mum netwalk, we buy the coffee in the café of pub after their walk. So, it’s only fair that our Digital Hub members get the same opportunity.
If you are lucky enough to see a rainbow through your window while you’re in a Digital Hub meet-up, take a photo, send it to us, and we’ll send you a coffee!
...and don't forget our whole network weekly coffee mornings.
UK – Every Wednesday, 10:30am – 11:15am (GMT) on Zoom
Are you jumping or grumping this week? Join Freelance Mums from across the UK and beyond for our weekly Zoom coffee mornings. They’re a chance to chat, connect with other FMs, and share the week’s successes and challenges in your business and life.
“When mums succeed, families succeed. When families succeed, society succeeds.”

FAQs
Is the Digital Hub different to the FM Coffee Mornings?
Yes. The Freelance Mum Coffee Mornings are a quick, informal way to stay connected and get support. The Digital Hub is a community for FMs who can’t get to an in-person hub, or who want to expand their network online. It’s business-focused, so you’ll get key learning points to take away and apply to your business.
How can my business benefit from online networking with Freelance Mum?
Online business networking events can help you expand your professional connections, gain new clients, collaborate with other freelancers, and access valuable resources and support.
What should I prepare for The Digital Hub or other Freelance Mum online business networking events?
The Digital Hub is relaxed but business focused. You don’t need to prepare a 60-second speech, but we love to hear insights and ideas from everyone who joins us. There will be activities and focus questions to get you thinking!
Also, have your contact info and social media handles ready to drop into the chat box.
Can online networking help me grow my business?
Absolutely! Online business networking will increase your visibility and can lead to new clients, partnerships, and collaborations that will significantly contribute to your business growth.
How often should I participate in Freelance Mum online networking events?
As we say at Freelance Mum, you get back what you put in. So, we recommend coming along to as many of our events as you can, as regularly as you can. The Digital Hub is designed to slot easily into the busy schedules of our awesome FMs.
What are your tips for successful online networking?
