Voices from the sector
Our opening plenary featured five brilliant women speakers from women’s and girls’ organisations across the UK. Here’s what attendees had to say:
Excellent speakers covering a wide range of issues affecting women and girls in the UK
So grateful to hear from such inspirational leaders making such a difference in the lives of women
The speakers were brilliant – inspiring and informative.
Excellent mix of insightful and compelling speakers. Useful information about what is going on in the sector, but also really inspiring.
Meet the funders
Our Meet the funders session offered the chance to hear from grant makers who support the women and girls sector about their funding priorities and processes.
Great informative session, thank you.
Session demonstrated how accessible funders are/can be which is not always apparent.
Thanks for sharing really practical tips!
Investing in women, strengthening society
Award-winning social entrepreneur and international development expert Zubaida Bai joined us to explore the importance of the work done by women’s and girls’ organisations, drawing on her global work on health, wellbeing and economic participation.
Such a brilliant closing session. Thank you!
The most inspiring speaker I have heard for a very, very long time.
Such a wise, strong inspiring woman! Thank you for giving us the opportunity to hear her.
I really appreciated solid data and engaging case studies as well as a no nonsense approach to sustainability and influencing change.
Zubaida Bai is a phenomenal speaker on this topic and I’m really glad I had the opportunity to hear and learn from her via the conference.
Zubaida was a fantastic speaker full of clarity, wisdom and insight. It is rare that someone talks on a global perspective and also understands the micro level but she displayed that brilliantly.
Thank you to Cummins, whose funding allows us to offer the conference free of charge to attendees.
