A Starbeck resident hopes to welcome more people into a community group she has set up for parents.
Elena Leeming moved to the area in May and enjoyed meeting other mums but felt there needed to be a hub for them to chat.
So she decided to set up Starbeck Mums, which has 90 members, including two dads.
While Ms Leeming is pleased with the progress she hopes to be able to double those numbers in the new year.

Starbeck Mums is a Facebook group for mums who like chatting, making new friends and sharing information. Ms Leeming told the Stray Ferret:
“I am Russian-born and have been living in the UK with my husband for more than four years now after meeting him in Ireland.
“We found Starbeck and realised it had everything we needed like school, sports clubs, coffee shops, a train station and post office.
“But one thing it did not have was a group for mums. So far we have met up once in the park but we are hoping to organise more meetings next year.”
