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.
