If you’re a West London business looking to meet other local enterprises, build relationships and share expertise in a relaxed environment, you’ve come to the right place. Chiswick Business Network offers an exciting and informal way to make new contacts and is also a great way to socialise. The variety of events we run – from speed networking and morning coffee to lunch and happy hour meetups – offers something for everyone and is what makes us stand out from the crowd.  By scheduling events at different times of the day, we appeal to a wider group of people than the more rigidly set style of networking. It also provides the opportunity to visit some fantastic Chiswick venues. There are no elevator pitches, no hard sells and no membership fees – just pay as you go. Events are held monthly either on a Wednesday or Thursday. Chiswick Business Network is growing in popularity, with nearly 1,000 members signed up in Meetup and 500+ in our Facebook group. So come along, join the fun, enjoy delicious nibbles and drinks and, importantly, take advantage of some great networking. You never know where it might lead!

***"*Create new possibilities "** **Hi Welcome to The Womans Empowerment Network** Click here to watch my intro video [Introduction to the womans empowerment network ](https://youtu.be/LXx-xVPX4lI) **The Woman's Empowerment Network Focuses on connections, helping people develop and thrive.** **Psychology shows that when we approach our life in a holistic way, it improves our mental health and wellbeing -hence we are more likely to thrive and flourish, feel happier and more content. This is achieved through a number of ways such as connecting with others, creating meaning and purpose in your life, having a spiritual or religious framework, getting your needs met, having fun and work that you enjoy.** People can struggle because a need isn't met or they are not attending to any of those aspects above, In this network I bring the things that light me up, have made a difference to my life and what has helped many of my clients in my work as a psychotherapist/coach, service lead , programme designer and yoga and meditation teacher . I originally joined a meet up in 2011 . I found it hard at first to go to events and become more social after bringing up my children and being mostly academic , then a group of us set up a social group in Windsor and I enjoyed three years of weekly events meeting many different people . I knew that other woman like me were also finding it hard to get out and make new friends .

Welcome! This group is for Indians from Slough or nearby cities who want to make new friends to socialize, build a support network, and organize gatherings. Let’s make Slough feel more like home.

This group was started to create a great community in the Bucks and Berks areas. Attending our events is a great way to make new sociable friends and to maybe even meet that someone special along the way if you're currently single. However the events are open to everyone and you don't need to be single to join. We are happy for you to also become an organiser and post a get together wherever you might live in Bucks or Berks. This is a great way to make new very local friends to where you live. If you are female and would also like to make new female friends in the area why not join our female networking Whatsapp group. Please full text me on 07948 417418 and say you would like to add to this group. You can then suggest female socials to the other ladies direct this way. Hope to see you all soon to start social networking locally. Best wishes Julie Davies

I would like to create a book club where you can enjoy reading a book and then discussing it informally, over a drink - tea, coffee or something stronger! If you like to read and would like to share your thoughts with others, then this group is for you. I want this to be a book group for the members so books can be chosen by members and the discussions can be shaped as members would like. Nothing too heavy though! There will be a chance as well for some social networking time if you are interested but this of course is up to you. The meetup fees are quite alot to run the group so I ask for a small contribution from each member to cover these costs. This needs paying by 01 Sep each year. On line meetings so everyone is welcome no matter your location. *To cover the meetup fees members need to pay £3 annual fee due 01 September each year (or before signing up to your first meeting during the year). The link to pay is here. Please add your surname as reference.* [https://pay.collctiv.com/meetup-book-club-65142](https://pay.collctiv.com/meetup-book-club-65142)
