Assist is a Tees Valley based organisation, set up in 2009, allowing women in business to grow professionally through a strong network of like-minded women. Together we can stand shoulder to shoulder, helping ourselves and each other to build better and stronger businesses in a supportive environment.

As we celebrate Volunteer Week 2026, we want to take a moment to recognise the incredible people at the heart of Assist Women’s Network... our volunteers ✨

For over 16 years, Assist has been empowering, connecting and championing women across the Tees Valley, and none of it would be possible without the time, energy and passion of our amazing team.

From welcoming guests at events, supporting projects behind the scenes, helping shape campaigns and creating opportunities for women across our region. Every contribution matters, and we’re so grateful for every single person who gives their time to Assist.

This year, we’re also delighted to welcome Paula McMahon as our 2026 Goodwill Ambassador. We’re excited to have Paula supporting the network as we continue creating impact across the Tees Valley 🙌🏻

To all of our volunteers, supporters and community, thank you for being part of the Assist journey.

Here’s to continuing to lift each other up 💜

With gratitude,
The Assist Committee
