IWD 2025 Takeover & Open Day at The Flourish Hub – Recap

March 11, 2025 by Flourish Together Team

On Monday 3rd March 2025, we hijacked our Flourishing Monday Co-working day to create an open day showcasing our new Altrincham Hub, as well as highlighting diverse Women Changemakers from across the Flourish Network to kick off International Women’s Week celebrations.

Women of all backgrounds attended, networked, made connections, and learned more about the support that Flourish has to offer. The day started with warm drinks, networking and introduction to the Altrincham Hub, followed by a panel of Women Changemakers.

We heard from;

–Jo Cushing – Inch Arts and Oyez Arts

–Debbie Tomkies – Making Futures CIC

–Yolande Ghola – Community Upskilling CIC 

–Andrea Whyen – Consult for Solutions 

–Marianna Vasziliyiv – Sunflower Mcr and United for Ukraine 

Each of these inspiring woman talked about their organisations, their journeys, and plans for the future. They are living proof that when you have an idea, with some hard work and great support (like Flourish!), your idea can become a reality, impacting the lives of countless people. 

A delicious lunch was also provided by Mabel’s Vintage Tearoom, before attendees brainstorm ideas to shape the future of Flourish Together and our current hubs! Whilst others stayed to network, co-work, or take advantage of our 121 drop ins, the day was gently brought to an end with some relaxing mini treatments; Indian Head, Back, Neck & Shoulder, courtesy of our pop up spa therapist, Tamara Banarescu.

Overall, a successful day, enjoyed by all!

“Remember, one idea in action, is better than a thousand ideas in a book “ Tyler Dickerhoof. So, if you have an idea for an enterprise, come and talk to us!

We hope you are enjoying the rest of International Women’s Month!
