What a week it’s been! We kicked things off with celebrating the achievements of InvestHER at the Houses of Parliament. This incredible initiative is focused on: 1️⃣ Building wealth for all women, ensuring financial empowerment at every stage. 2️⃣ Breaking down structural barriers, whether in law or policy, so the funding and resources directed toward women-led businesses and #FemaleFounders deliver maximum impact. We were inspired by speeches from Peter Kyle and Rt Hon Darren Jones MP Darren Jones MP - Chair, Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Committee, who reaffirmed their commitment to supporting women in tech and business. It was also a privilege to meet Dame Caroline Dinenage MP DBE and Samantha Niblett MP, whose support for this vital campaign is inspiring. Their role in driving the reversal of the #FPO legislation earlier this year marks a significant step forward in creating more equitable opportunities for women in business. A huge congratulations to Emma Wright for bringing this transformative initiative to life! The week wrapped up with Hargreaves Lansdown ‘Financially Fearless at Work, Wealth, and Wellbeing’ event. 🎉 A big thank you to Laura Burridge and Maike Currie for hosting such a thought-provoking afternoon! Key takeaways included: 💡Equality begins at home: The “50/50 Rule” was championed as a practical way for women to thrive in their careers while achieving balance. 💡Financial protection is crucial: The panel emphasised the importance of having insurance in place to safeguard against life’s unexpected challenges. 💡Get commercial and money-smart: Financial education isn’t just about saving—investing those savings is the next essential step toward building lasting wealth. Thank you to everyone who made this week impactful and inspiring! 💡
