Co-working Thursdays CIC
Co-working Thursdays CIC was founded by Clare Wilson and Alex Williams, who first met at a networking event in the summer of 2021. At similar stages in their entrepreneurial journeys, they quickly discovered a shared vision and became best business buddies!
​
In May 2022 they hosted their first co-working event, bringing together like-minded business owners, freelancers and remote workers. Since then Co-working Thursdays has grown into a thriving community with monthly meet-ups where members connect, share insights, seek support and simply enjoy working alongside others.
Mission & Values
Collaboration
Co-working Thursdays CIC is committed to providing collaborative and supportive events for professionals, entrepreneurs and freelancers within the community, specifically aimed at women.
​
Welcoming
These gatherings create a welcoming and supportive environment where women can connect, collaborate and share their experiences. By providing a regular, inclusive space for individuals to work together, the aim is to combat isolation and help women feel more connected and supported in their professional journeys.
​
Supportive
The events focus on supporting local talent and venues, ensuring that the community benefits from a thriving network of women-led businesses. By encouraging skill swapping and knowledge-sharing we help empower women to achieve their professional goals and build successful, sustainable careers.
​
Well-being
Mental health is a core consideration in all the events hosted by Co-working Thursdays. By creating a space where women can work together, share challenges and find support, the aim is to help reduce stress and isolation often associated with entrepreneurship and freelance work. This, in turn, leads to improved mental well-being and a healthier work-life balance.​
At Co-working Thursdays CIC, we're all about building a strong, supportive network of women who lift each other up. By coming together, we help each other grow, both personally and professionally, leading to greater financial independence and stronger businesses. Our work is all about making the community a more vibrant, inclusive and empowering space where women can truly thrive.
What attendees love about Co-working Thursdays...
"Being able to hear other peoples ideas and feel a bit less alone"
"Meeting new lovely people, bouncing ideas off other like-minded people, being able to mix work with socialising (self employment can be lonely)"
"Sharing ideas, lifting each other up, such a lovely atmosphere and it’s a lovely treat to have a lunch with friends and new friends! It’s the highlight of my month."
"It’s a lovely community and chance to chat to fellow creatives, catchup, share ideas and support each other whilst getting some work done and having a lovely day out and change of scenery."
"Likeminded ladies all getting together to offer support and advice. Any question ever asked has a full answer and other opinions too. Great way to not work alone all the time and you a gorgeous feel good event!"
