COMMUNITy
Our VALUES
Our communities are built on trusting, supportive and empowering values, managed by real female business owners who relate to the struggles and challenges of swapping the 9 to 5 for the 24/7.
We understand that it takes enormous courage and tenacity to take the leap out of employment into self employment and we are here to help guide and support you to become a confident and successful business owner.
OUR STORY
What began back in 2018, as a Facebook group created to bring together local women in Worcester for support, connection and guidance, has grown into something far beyond what we imagined.
Our first monthly meeting in Worcester sparked a wave of interest and community spirit, leading us to expand into Bromsgrove then to Kidderminster, Droitwich, Pershore, Malvern, Bridgnorth and more recently into Shrewsbury, Ludlow, Hereford and Longbridge in Birmingham; each new location adding its own unique energy and stories.
Alongside our face to face meetings, we launched NetworkWell, the wellness strand of the Women Who community, to support not just business growth but personal wellbeing too. Under NetworkWell, we opened our first monthly Walk & Talk in Hartlebury, Stourport, followed by monthly Walk & Talks along the beautiful River Severn in Worcester City.
