Inspiring Inclusion - Women’s Month Speed Networking Event
2024-03-20 17:00 - 19:00 (Europe/London) | Three Sixty Workrooms, Three Sixty Workrooms, 36-48 Cambridge Road, Barking, Essex, IG11 8NW, United Kingdom
Come and network with us & join the public pledge to do one thing to inspire inclusion for women & girls in Barking & Dagenham in 2024!

Join us in celebrating Women's Month and International Women's Day with this year's theme, "Inspire Inclusion." This theme resonates deeply with the ongoing efforts across our borough of Barking & Dagenham to support women and girls, ensuring they have equal opportunities.
Did you know that in our borough, women leaders outnumber men in the social sector? Our partners in the London borough of Barking and Dagenham have a female Chief Executive, with more women than men in the cabinet of elected members. This representation is crucial as it provides visual role models for women and girls, showcasing diverse perspectives and leadership styles.
Research suggests that women often excel in leadership roles due to their ability to bring fresh perspectives, promote diversity of opinion, and prioritise work-life balance. Furthermore, women are more likely to seek assistance and support when needed, contributing to a more collaborative and inclusive environment.
With Barking and Dagenham boasting the youngest population in the country, it is our responsibility to inspire all young people to reach their full potential, seize opportunities, and prioritise their well-being, especially in these challenging times when mental health is a growing concern.
Don't miss this speed networking event on Wednesday, March 20th, from 5 pm to 7 pm, where you can connect with like-minded individuals. During the event, we will collectively pledge to take action to inspire inclusion for women and girls in Barking and Dagenham in 2024. Men are also encouraged to attend and contribute to this important conversation.
Together, let's inspire inclusion and create a more equitable future for all in our community.
