Wales' first Freelance Mum networking hub for women in business is set to launch in Swansea.
The group – which will be run by Stacey Bramhall of Gower based Impress PR, in collaboration with Ella Slee, Mumbles PT and fitness coach and founder of Functional Fitness – will meet once a month on a Thursday to ‘netwalk’ along Mumbles Seafront, for fresh air and focus questions.
The netwalk is designed to enable mums in business to network and bring their children. The also group offers an active online community of support and cheerleaders for women in business, with weekly online coffee mornings and member led sessions where all hub members across the country can come together and connect.
The idea of ‘netwalking’ with children was created by founder, Faye Dicker in 2013 in Bristol, as she found herself juggling motherhood around her voiceover work. There are now 10 hubs across the UK and a digital hub launched in January.
The Swansea launch event will take place on Thursday, March 6 at 10am and will meet outside Croeso Lounge, Oyster Wharf, Mumbles. It will then meet every first Thursday of the month during school term times.
“The fresh air and focus questions are an important part of Freelance Mum. It’s well recognised the importance of connecting with nature for our well-being and clarity. In a world where everything can feel fast paced, it’s even more important to take some time out and connect with fellow business owners who are on the same page. The focus questions keep conversation on track and help members get the most from the sessions,” said Faye Dicker, Founder of Freelance Mum.
“We understand the unique challenges faced by freelance mums juggling work and family life,” said Stacey Bramhall. “Freelance Mum provides a valuable platform for women to connect, share experiences, and learn from each other while growing their businesses. When I moved to Swansea in the summer I really missed going to Freelance Mum netwalks in Bristol so I wanted to bring them to Mumbles.”
Ella Slee added: “Our goal is to build a strong sense of community for mums in business, to provide support and connection which will help mums in business thrive.”
