About Funky Angel

We are the longest-established UK website for business mums, home workers, women in business, mum entrepreneurs, and families balancing work and family.

We believe in a whole life approach to business, concentrating on the achieving the best life/family/work balance we can, with an emphasis on building networks and relationships as well as making money.

With regard to the family side of the equation, we don't think that there should be any prescribed notion of what families do or don't do, how they are structured, or whom you call family. If it works for you, we are happy; if it doesn't, we'll give the resources you need to change that.

We think every child has the right to be have a 'good enough' parent on hand when they need it. We also think that every parent has the right to have the time and energy to raise their child in the way they want to while still having enough money to live on and the opportunity to use their skills and intellect in a way that is best for them and their family, whether that is part time, home working, franchising, party planning, what ever works for you.

We don't believe the propaganda that the modern family is failing, and we don't subscribe to the nonsense that mothers are always to blame for whatever goes wrong with their kids or in the family as an entity. We think the modern family is doing just great and that parents have never done a better job. We also believe in flexibility, happiness, love, and balance. We know you do to, and we call it the 21st century family.

We think working parents are the modern angels, especially those of you battling with circumstances that would try the patience of a saint and STILL making a good job of raising your kids. Our aim is to offer you as much information and expertise as we can so you can do it easier, quicker and with more fun and happiness.

Funky Angel is one of the many 21st century cottage industries blooming despite, or maybe because, of the recession, and we think this is because we work from home, which we believe is one of the best solutions to much of the hectic-ness of modern Western life.

Funky Angel is a truly virtual 'hollow' (ie no central offices and everything outsourced) company, and this has been made possible, like with so many other home businesses, by the rise of the internet and technological advances as a whole.

We love technology, in fact, because, at the risk of sounding geeky, isn't it a marvelous thing? It's not just fun and easy and quick and, well, interesting and amazing, but it's also brought everything back round to a human scale again. And that's really very funky and cool, isn't it?
