What is Ellevate?

Ellevate is a welcoming and inclusive Oxfordshire-based community dedicated to empowering mid-life women on their journey of personal and professional growth. Through informal networking, shared experiences and meaningful learning opportunities, Ellevate aims to create a supportive space where women can connect, grow and thrive together.

Who is it for? 

Ellevate is for women in mid-life who have an interest in personal and professional development. Whether you're looking to advance or change your career, build confidence, learn new skills or simply connect with like-minded women, Ellevate provides a space to do so.

Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen. It’s about connecting with others through our authentic selves.

How does it work?

There will be in-person sessions approximately every eight to twelve weeks. These gatherings will be informal and relaxed, with opportunities to develop skills and knowledge, discuss relevant topics, share experiences, and network. There’s no obligation to attend every event—come when it suits you! There will be a small charge per session to cover venue and refreshment costs.
