What Women's Club Offers

Women’s Club is in the process of becoming established and is growing fast, with first Pods opening in South Yorkshire and in Derbyshire.

• We offer groups that meet at different times of the day to ensure no women are excluded from having access to us.
  
• We provide two conference days annually in each region, where members attend Master Class workshops, meet for networking purposes and promote themselves and their businesses to other members.
  
• Typically, Women’s Club members are progressive thinkers who enjoy making positive changes in their businesses and developing their skills.

Peer Mentoring

• We ensure a productive level of compatibility between peer mentoring participants.
  
• Contributors, by all being women, share certain common experiences irrespective of their age, ethnicity, social class or sexuality.
  
• We select members with similar backgrounds, interests and life experience: however, while this ensures a level of compatibility, we also work hard to develop an intriguing variety to our membership.
  
• We encourage each member to set goals and to share insights on progress to achieving these.
  
• We support members by demystifying and managing matters as diverse as finance, technology, marketing and sales, employer and other legal compliance issues.
  

Joining Women's Club

You'd like to join us? That’s great news but, to make sure we maintain the standards you expect of us, membership is not automatic.

Women’s Club is not just a networking group and so we seek to achieve a balance of skills and experience in each group. This ensures there is a broad spectrum of input and opportunity. In this way we deliver best value for all members.

So, we perform simple screening activities. In this way, everyone understands our rules and they are happy to comply with our code of conduct and the strict confidentiality agreement we impose on all members.

Trust is paramount, so we make every effort to ensure it is safe to discuss sensitive issues within each Pod. If trust is breached we will apply sanctions.

How Women's Club Membership Begins

We allow 2 visits before asking for a membership commitment. If you are then interested in joining a Pod, you can take out initial 3 month membership for £150 + VAT.

At the end of that time if we all agree this is going to work for everyone, annual membership will be offered. Annual membership costs £350 + VAT and so a balance of £200 + VAT is payable at that time.

Typically this means that a member receives 14 months membership for the price of 12 in this first period: great value!

Becoming a Women's Club Pod Facilitator

• Each Pod needs a good facilitator to ensure venues are booked, refreshments are arranged and meeting formats are adhered to.
  
• A good facilitator adds value to us and we reward them for their time and commitment.
  
• Candidates for the role will be subject to a short interview and will be expected to provide independent references e.g. from a customer/client or similar.
  
• Facilitators will be expected to have run a business of their own or worked in a way that is complementary to the role of facilitator in their professional or private life.
  
• Once accepted, a facilitator will enter into a contract with us in return for which membership fees will be waived for the duration of the role.
• Each Facilitator will be supported to grow a Pod in her city and region.
• Members recruited will generate for the facilitator a fee equivalent to 10% of the value of the member’s gross annual fee – recurring annually.
  
• Facilitators can operate more than one group with our agreement and guidance.
  
• Training will be provided on an ongoing basis and full support given with any issues that may arise between members in a Pod.
