๐ Women for women Support Group - Bedford
Saturday 30 November 2024
Time: 15:00 - 16:30
๐จ EVENT CANCELLED ๐จ
๐ณ A friendly gathering/walk organised to create a welcoming and supportive space for women, to walk (or sit) and talk (or not) on Saturdays in Bedford. All welcome.
๐ซถ WOMEN COMING TOGETHER
We all need a community around us, people we can share moments and experiences with, among whom we find support and understanding. Starting mid-September this will be a regular weekly meet-up (outdoors or indoors - if the right place is found), fostering a safe environment and deeper connections that develop over time.
WHAT IS THIS GROUP INTENDED FOR?
Women for Women is intended as a space where everyone can find their people, their tribe and have that sense of belonging that is more difficult to achieve in the modern world, outside of your closest family circle (if that is the case). We are all different, bringing our uniqueness to the people around us and the community. Let's celebrate and cherish that, learn from each other and be for one another in this space.
๐บ I WOULD LOVE TO BE APART OF THIS - WHERE DO WE MEET?
We meet at Bedford Band Stand in the park - click the address location link above and it will show you.
