What people say about LBN
Women’s networks are less about selling and more about sharing, but they are still a valuable business resource.
LBN Member
At LBN I’ve made friends, as well as excellent contacts for clients – and I get to bounce ideas around in an environment that’s focused on supporting women in business.
LBN Member
At my first event – LBN feels like a family. Very supportive and friendly environment with a variety of events and venues.
GUEST
As a new member I was greeted warmly and friendly by the whole group. I also like the fact you have a profile on the website when you join.
NEW MEMBER
I love that LBN provide great training and workshops – that it is not ‘just’ networking.
LBN MEMBER
It was lovely to meet a varied selection of businesswomen. I love the different speakers and expertise of knowledge that LBN have and share.
GUEST
LBN is not about referrals or sales. It is an open and supportive networking group with no pressure, a variety of venues and members.
MEMBER
Our supported charity – Springfield
Every few years LBN members nominate a charity that LBN members will support in various ways; from donations, raising awareness, to fundraising events.
The current LBN charity is Springfield: domestic abuse support in the South Lakes.
“Springfield strives to meet the needs of women today who live with the terrible impact of domestic abuse. Through our refuge and growing community work lives are being changed. With your support, building on over 100 years of supporting women, we won’t rest until all domestic abuse is history.” Anne Russell, Chair of the Trustees
To find out more please visit the Springfield website. If you would like to help in any way please speak to the LBN committee enquiries@lbn.org.uk
