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.

Our supported charity – Carer Support South Lakes
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 Carer Support South Lakes who help improve the lives of unpaid Carers of all ages in the South Lakes.
“3 out of 5 people will become a Carer at some point in their lives. And that figure is expected to rise.
Our youngest Carer is 5, and cares for his Mum, making sure she gets out of bed, makes her a cup of tea, makes sure she takes her pills, and then goes to school. We support 120 young carers, of which 40% are in crisis.
We also support Parent Carers and Adult Carers; our oldest Carer is 98 and cares for a 104 year old. All need support, whether it is someone to come and sit for the person they care for or counselling to help them cope with their caring role. We run Support Groups around the region and give 1-1 support. It is these activities that we look to raising funds to help us help the carers. This year we will be focusing on the Young Carers. LBN thank you for your support -it means a lot to us and to the Carers we help.”
