What we’re about
Welcome Supporters of Women in Manchester and beyond!
Welcome to our community – a sanctuary where we come together to uplift, empower, and thrive!
We defeat loneliness and fear, so women can thrive.
We provide support, guidance and opportunities to connect, build self esteem, and learn new skills in a safe and supportive space.
Here, women can go from surviving to thriving, and reach their full potential.
Join us, and let's thrive together!
The purpose of this group is to join empowered women interested in empowering other women. We also hold mixed-gender events periodically, and welcome Empowering Men at these events. Learn more about us here: www.womenempoweredmcr.org.
Majority of successful women have made it through many obstacles to become successful. It is not easy to reach the top and many of us have received help and support from other empowered women. Our goal is to put our minds, energy, and love together and support women. This is a safe and supportive space for women. Please join us! Let's support each other! 😊

We hope you can join us and we can't wait to welcome you! - WE Course Preview: Self-Esteem Course (Online) 👏💪💕💪👏Link visible for attendees
Would you like to learn more about our ground-breaking life-changing self-esteem course which teaches us to love ourselves unconditionally and overcome negative thinking patterns that hold us back?
Do you sometimes wake up dreading the day?
Or feel down about what you have accomplished in your life so far?
Or worry about making a mistake or failing that you don’t even try?
You don't have to let these feelings win. 💪👏
Firstly, we’ve all done it and we all do it, we listen to those negative thoughts we say about ourselves, but what’s worse is that after a while, we start to believe them, because the mind can be very convincing when it wants to be. But you don’t have to accept those thoughts. Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to challenge those thoughts and start to believe in you again? 👏💪💕💪👏
We run an 11 week programme which is aimed at building self-esteem and overcoming negative thinking, and we are running this FREE introduction session to give everyone a chance to learn about the course and meet our Consultant, Ms. Dawn O'Meally.
You can also visit our website to learn more about the course: https://womenempoweredmcr.org/courses/self-esteem-course/
Join us and hear from our leading consultant, myself, and our previous course participants in relation to this course and how you can change your thinking patterns and, thereby, improve the quality of your life.
So, what are you waiting for? Invest 11 weeks in your well-being and happiness because you deserve it.
We look forward to empowering you to live a happier and more full-filled life. 👏💪💕💪👏
Cost
This is a free introduction session.

- 🌟🌸 WE Talk and Rise: Work and Career Challenges (Online) 🌸🌟Link visible for attendees
Welcome to our new Women Empowered (WE) online Group, which is a safe and supportive space for discussing the work and career challenges we face in our professional lives. Our goal is to create an environment where we can learn from and support one another, share our experiences and rise together.
About the Group
Why is it that we often stay silent about the obstacles we encounter in our work and careers? Many of us face struggles such as climbing the career ladder and securing that promotion, problems finding a job and facing rejections or incredibly stressful workplace experiences such as bullying or discrimination. These are experiences that many of us share and they can make us feel lonely and isolated. We rarely talk about them due to feelings of embarrassment, shame or because we feel it may be our own fault as we are not good enough. It's time for that to stop, and so the aim of this online group is to break down these barriers and to talk, support and empower one another and rise above the challenges we face.At this online event we will:
- Discuss topics related to work and career challenges, including workplace disputes, job hunting, climbing the career ladder and more.
- Provide a supportive and non-judgmental space for women to share their experiences and seek advice from others.
- Encourage open dialogue and collaboration, promoting the idea that by opening up and talking we can rise together.
If you are going through a difficult time finding a job, in some kind of work/employment dispute, would like some tips on securing a promotion or perhaps even a career change, whatever it may be, join us and hopefully we can help to ease the burden. We want to create a community that supports and empowers other women to navigate the complexities of the professional world. Together, we can break the silence and rise above the challenges we face.
This online event will take place every two months on Tuesday evenings at 7pm to 8:30pm.
Please note:
- We are not employment experts but want to create a safe space where we can listen, support and empower other women through shared experiences and a kind, non-judgemental environment.
- We would aim to bring in employment experts (Careers Advisors/Coaches, Employment Lawyers etc) at later group sessions to provide talks and Q&As, should there be the demand.
- Anything shared in our meetings will be treated as strictly confidential.
- This event is free to attend and for Women only.
You can book here on Meet Up or more privately via our Women Empowered website here and the link to join will be sent to you.
If you have any questions please email events@womenempoweredmcr.org
We hope you will join us and we look forward to welcoming you 😊 ❤️
