A women’s network is aiming to support 4,000 women and girls through a new project focused on health, mindset, safety, and communication.

Network She, based in North Wales, launched the 4 HER Project at its official relaunch event after eight weeks of planning and development under its new leadership team.

Lisa Williams from Denbighshire, who leads the team alongside Tracy Cawthray and Sara Hughes, said: "When we took on Network She, we knew we wanted to create something that went beyond networking and business.

"We wanted to build something with purpose, something that could make a genuine difference to the lives of women and young girls."

The 4 HER Project aims to bring together businesses, professionals, charities, and community organisations to offer support, education, resources, and opportunities to women and girls.

It will focus on health and wellbeing, building confidence and resilience, raising safety awareness, and encouraging open communication.

Network She was founded in 2007 by Ruth Lloyd-Williams and has spent nearly two decades supporting women through networking events, conferences, and business workshops.

The relaunch, held at Kinmel Manor, gathered more than 60 women to mark the next stage of the network’s journey and raised £399 toward the 4 HER Project.

She said: "It’s been an incredibly busy eight weeks, with lots of learning, planning, testing, and building, but seeing everything come together at the launch made it all worthwhile."

The event featured the first edition of the Network She magazine, an ambassador panel, and entertainment from Britain’s Got Talent finalists Han & Fran.

A new membership scheme has also been introduced to make it easier for women to connect, collaborate, and access business support.

The ambassador programme will help grow the network by connecting women across different communities.

Vicky Cutler from Colwyn Bay, who took part in the ambassador panel, said: "I'm so excited to be continuing as a Network She Ambassador and helping more women make those all-important connections."

Attendee Sarah White, who travelled to North Wales for the event, said: "It was great to head over to North Wales yesterday to celebrate the relaunch of Network She.

"Really interesting to hear the plans that the new team have got for the future of the network and especially the 4 HER Project."
