Empowering diverse women in leadership and business through networking, mentorship, and training.

142 women. 5 events. And we're still learning.

Swipe to see what the DaWN community has been telling us,
and what we're doing about it.

Because this community isn't just about networking.
It's about building something real.
Identifying the gaps. And filling them.

The Business Masterclass on 16th June is a direct response to what we've been hearing. Startup basics. Finance fundamentals. In a room of just 15 women.

🎟️ Standard £30 from 11th June

This is what Reconnect & Rise looked like behind the scenes 💜

Women connecting. Laughing. Listening. Sharing. Supporting.

No awkward networking. No polished pitches. Just a room that felt like it was always meant to exist.

142 women have now come through DaWN events across West Yorkshire, and every single room has had this energy.

If this looks like your kind of space, the next event is 16th June.

142 women. 5 events. One theme keeps coming up💡

At every DaWN event, across every room, the conversation always comes back to the same thing, women in business struggling with the foundations.

The finance. The structure. Knowing where to even begin.

At Reconnect & Rise, we made every woman introduce herself to the room.
And what happened was powerful, women who wouldn't normally speak up, did.
And what they shared told us everything.

They want to learn. They want to discuss. They want to hear from experts.

And they want a safe space to talk about the specific struggles they face as women, and women of colour, in business.

The BERL Scale is our free tool to help you start that journey. Take your assessment and find out exactly where your business stands.

Last week at Reconnect & Rise, something special happened.

Over 40 women gathered at Shire Beds, Dewsbury for DaWN's Post-Eid networking evening. They came from different backgrounds, different stages of business, and different walks of life, and they filled the room with exactly the kind of energy DaWN was built to create.

On the night, we also officially launched the DaWN website.

It felt like the right moment. Because the website was always meant to be a reflection of this community, and that night, the community showed up in full.

You'll find our story, upcoming events, the BERL Scale, a free business readiness tool, and everything we have coming next.

Supporting Honoured

Our recent gathering was a pre-launch conversation — a moment to reflect on resilience, courage and purpose ahead of what comes next.

We’re proud to be supporting Naz Shah MP as she prepares for the official launch of her book Honoured.

Available for pre-order now with the official release date set as March 5th, 2026.

The conversations shared reminded us why these moments matter.

When women are given space to speak openly about their journeys, leadership becomes more human, grounded and inclusive.

📘 Honoured: Survival, Strength and My Path to Politics is available to pre-order now.

🔗 Pre-order your copy here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Honoured-Survival-Strength-Path-Politics/dp/139962847X

We look forward to standing alongside Naz as Honoured reaches its next milestone.
