Serendipity in Action

Our Women's Wellbeing Event

On Sunday 11 October, women from across the North East filled the Hexham Abbey Function Rooms to connect, reflect and feel supported, with honest talks, small-group workshops, movement, song and plenty of time to share.

“I'm still on cloud nine at how well my little story went down at your event. I really didn't know if anyone would want to hear it or would relate to it at all... how wrong was I!

I couldn't get out the building for all the women who wanted to hug me or share their story with me or congratulate me on my bravery for telling my story!

I've never felt so supported and empowered ever! So thank you for giving me the opportunity to tell my story as it has been a key part in my healing and moving on with my life.

I hope you do this again and if you ever need help with anything to help you do that I'm here and ready to be part of it... I'm writing a piece about my journey and your event is now a huge part of it!

Thank you again for creating a space where women could come together and empower each other. It's so important.”
