This #InternationalWomensDay we are celebrating the progress of women in UK business 👩💼 Watch to see how as womens' representation increases, so does company profit👇
If you feel inspired by the brilliant women of the More in Common Network, express your interest and get involved today👇 jocoxfoundation.org/our-work/stron…
'My one piece of advice is to be brave and get involved. You never know how you in turn could inspire others. Don't let the little voice in back of your head distract you as everyone has something to contribute wherever they are from and whatever their background.'
Edwina founded Totally Leighton Buzzard in 2020 and joined the network last year, believing "community makes us and we make community." They run a monthly Repair Cafe to share repair skills and fix broken household items, putting that motivation into action.
'My advice to women thinking about getting involved with the More in Common Network is to stay true to you and your ideals, trust your gut and don’t be afraid to say no. If you have a vision of how you want something to be, stick with it.'
Laura Bevan got involved by running a Great Get Together. Seeing the impact, she and Louise Nolte set up More in Common Halton. They now run 'Women Shall Overcome' event focusing on women's issues and providing period products.
‘The More in Common Network is empowering for women because it provides you with opportunities to get involved with your local community, to help to reduce isolation and to remind people of Jo's inspiring message, that we have more in common than that which divides us.’
Rebecca Pawley founded More in Common Leicester and is also a local councillor in her community. Rebecca shares how Jo’s #MoreInCommon message inspires her to be able to find common ground, a key component to building stronger communities.
Happy International Women's Day! Women are at the forefront of building stronger communities and this deserves to be celebrated. Women of the More in Common Network share how they continue to be inspired by Jo’s #moreincommon message. 🧵#IWD24

Today I visited the hugely successful multi ethnic food bank in Westbourne Community Centre, Queens Park, Bedford. They have many referrals but are in great need of more ethnic food. It was a pleasure to meet Dr Minaz Mazi-Kotwal who founded this successful project a year ago.

It’s #WorldBookDay today & it’s been wonderful to see so many people sharing their current favourite books! An Encyclopaedia might not be your go to book, but a great place to find your next read is your local library. Check your council website to find your nearest branch 📚📕
