About us

## Welcome to Women Empowered MCR

Supporting Women in Manchester and Beyond

Women Empowered MCR is a welcoming community where women come together to connect, grow, and thrive.

We believe no woman should face loneliness, self-doubt, or fear alone. Through supportive events and safe spaces, we help women build confidence, strengthen self-esteem, learn new skills, and create meaningful connections.

Most successful women have overcome challenges โ€” and many have been supported by other empowered women along the way. Our mission is simple: women supporting women.

While most events are for women, we also host occasional mixed-gender events and welcome Empowering Men to participate in those spaces.

We are more than a Meetup group โ€” we are a regulated nonprofit run entirely by unpaid volunteers who are passionate about uplifting women.

Join us and be part of a community where women move from surviving to thriving.
