What is The Fold?

The Fold (and it's predecessor Tribe) is a community for self-employed and freelancing women in Leeds.

It's networking for women who don't like "networking". Think, more meeting up with a group of friends you didn't know you had.

The Fold hosts monthly evening meet ups, alternating between guest speakers/workshops and social events. You'll also find monthly co-working sessions.

You can now join our membership and be a part of something bigger. Find out more information at www.thefoldnetwork.co.uk

Who is it for?

The Fold is for self employed / business owning / freelancing / side-hustling women from all backgrounds and sectors.

It's for women, who want to meet other women. Women who want to learn from others, share their own experiences, knowledge and cheer each other on.

Whether you're just starting out, you're somewhat of a pro or you're somewhere in the middle, you are welcome at The Fold.

Why do we need it?

Networking should not, I repeat, SHOULD NOT be something that you dread going to. That's why our meet-ups are laid back and informal.

At The Fold we believe that we shouldn't view each other as the competition, but view each other as allies. Sharing knowledge and experience = POWER.

Instead of pressure to pitch and create referrals, our focus is on building meaningful connections and relationships with like-minded women.
