Director, Morecambe Bay Wills and Estates Limited
“I’ve been volunteering at The Growing Club for a year now, helping out at the weekly Drop-In, assisting on the “Roots and Shoots” start up course, and more recently as a mentor for one of the women launching her own new business.
On average I give a half a day a week and I can honestly say I get so much value out of that time, I wouldn’t change it. I came from a corporate background but now run my own business so I can see both sides and bring lots of varying experience, helping women out in many different ways. I think I add lots of value to many of those who attend.
But it’s also two-sided! I get so much out of my time at The Growing Club. I’ve built networks and friendships, learned so much more about small business, and grown my own skills. I especially value working with women from lots of different backgrounds – it gives you a much wider view of the world we live in, and the local environment we all operate in.
I would recommend it to anyone who wants to develop themselves as well as help others. Come and join us!”
