Hello, wonderful women! 

We’re in full swing, delivering workshops and planning some exciting events in the year ahead.

Here’s the latest in our programme of support that we’ve got coming up over the next few weeks: 

Our support for candidates is continuing until 10th May, with our next workshop taking place next Monday 7:30-9pm preparing you in public speaking. If you’re a current local election candidate or hoping to put yourself forward for next year’s general election, sign up to access all of our free resources and support to ensure you deliver the best campaign possible. 

Join us, Centenary Action Group & the Disability Policy Centre in UK Parliament next Tuesday 17:15-18:30 to discuss how we can ensure d/Deaf & Disabled women are able to participate and be represented in politics through our cross-party panel discussion. Panellists include Dr Sarabajaya Kumar, Daisy Cooper MP, Chloe Smith MP, Marsha de Cordova MP, Marion Fellows MP and Mags Lewis. To attend, email your RSVP with any access requirements: [email protected]

Our Peer Support Circles are back! More than 600 women have progressed on their political journey so far through this 7 part development programme, and you could be next. Exploring goal setting, storytelling, team building and influence, Peer Support Circles create an intentional space for your personal and political growth, utilising the powers of coaching, reflection and peer connection for a life lasting impact. 

Every Thursday 7:30-9pm from 27th April - 15th June, with a break on 4th May for the local elections in England. Registration closes midnight 16th April, apply today.

If you're a Woman of Colour, join us on this 6 month transformational free programme, exploring leadership, values and the power of the unconscious mind to help look after your health and wellbeing with Licensed Coach Andleen Razzaq. Registration closes midnight 16th April, apply today.

Did you see our exciting news on International Women’s Day? We’re delighted to be working in partnership with Women’s Equality Network Wales in delivering a special takeover of the Senedd, bringing together women in Wales to connect, mobilise and champion their role in Wales’s democracy. If you’re living in Wales, register your interest to join us on Saturday 21st October in taking over the Senedd for a day! 

Earlier this year, we invited underrepresented women putting themselves forward in the 2023 local elections in England to apply for a grant to support with the personal costs of standing for election. Over 70 incredible women applied, and thanks to your donations, we are able to fund 23 of them.

Thank you to Marion, Matt, Meg, Billy, Kate, Martha, Harry, Susie, Sarah and Rachel for your donations this month, providing funds directly to Women of Colour, women from low to no income backgrounds, and d/Deaf and Disabled women putting themselves forward for election. With your support, we’re working to change the face of politics. 

As always, if you have any questions, are looking for advice or support, we’re here if you need us. Email our team at any time: [email protected]

With respect and solidarity,

Rosie and the tiny but mighty team at Elect Her
