About the network

About
The network is a collective of women from organisations across the borough. Members come together to share information, discuss issues that affect them, and look for local solutions that create change.
It grew from International Women’s Day 2023, when attendees asked for an ongoing space to connect. Today the network brings women from across sectors together to support, collaborate and uplift one another.
Meetings
Our quarterly forum meetings bring together women from across the borough and all sectors. Members share their work, exchange ideas and build connections with others committed to the same goals.
