Networking is working for our new ladies

WBa has started a new ladies only networking group called Morning Mums. It's very new and a bit quiet at the moment but that isn't holding back our ladies! Despite there being only a few ladies in the room the girls are making it work for them.

I'm so pleased to be able to say that Annie Long, Jazz Singer has got herself an afternoon singing at Roses Tea Rooms for Mothers Day. Thanks to an introduction at the Morning Mums events Annie and Michelle found they could help out each other and both make money in the process.

And another little success story? Carrie Spacey from About My Area was looking for some help to run the Bromborough area of her business and she found the perfect fit. After a chat at the first Morning Mums event Carrie has now taken on board Cath Long for what we hope will be a successful expansion of the About My Area family.

As the Morning Mums event build we hope to be able to bring you even more success stories from our ladies. We want to prove that you can have fun AND make networking work for you.

A helping hand.

We are please to say that one of our sponsors has helped a local charity with a brand new website. Stick 'n' Step, in Liscard, Wallasey help Children with Cerebral Palsy live much fuller and more independent lives through Conductive Education. It is truely amazing how some simple exercises can make such a difference to young lives.

Now Stick 'n' Step have a website to be proud of and one where they can update everything quickly and easily including their latest shopping list. The shopping list is an easy and affordable way to help the charity with everyday running costs. Just pop along to the website (http://www.sticknstep.org) and take a look at the things on their shopping list, when you next go shopping just buy one of the things on their shopping list and drop it off at the centre. Alternately you can bring it along to the next WBa meeting and we'll drop it off for you. Choose how much you spend from a box of tea bags to a ream or two of printer paper - everything will be put to use for the centre alone.

The website gives lots of info on what Stick 'n' Step do to help kids across the northwest who suffer from Cerebral Palsy so please do go and have a read.
