WO Connect

The Women’s Organisations WO Connect (formerly Business Club) is an exclusive women’s only networking group which is open to female business owners.

Membership is open to female business owners only and is per individual not per business. Additional staff members can be booked onto individual events as you go. Our events will mostly be held online or at our flagship building, 54 St James Street in Liverpool but members are welcome to join from anywhere.

How much does it cost?

We don’t have a membership fee as such. All we ask is that you make a one-off donation to The Women’s Organisation charity. This donation will help towards the cost of running WO Connect and help us continue to deliver our support for women in business. The minimum donation is £25 and this instates you as a ‘member for life’ – that’s right, no annual renewal fees. We also welcome larger donations, just specify the amount when completing your membership form.
