Conversation, inspiration and connection is what the Henley Female Network is all about. Join us for talks that inspire authentic conversations and genuine connections that expand your personal and professional network.
How often do you give yourself an hour or two to be inspired? To learn something new? To meet new people? To strengthen old connections? At the Henley Female Network we bring women together to listen to inspiring talks. To discuss and converse about the 'big stuff' and to build connections that are meaningful both for work and life.
​
Each Fourth Friday of the month, The Henley Female Network provides a safe and welcoming environment where conversations flourish, connections are forged, and friendships are born. Take time for yourself and come along to expand your personal and professional network as you connect with like-minded women who are here to support you.
​
Prepare to be inspired by a lineup of remarkable guest speakers who will share their journeys, successes, and lessons learned along the way. Gain invaluable insights, perspective and practical advice to navigate the challenges of everyday life, empowering you to thrive in your personal and professional endeavors.

UPCOMING EVENTS
​
When: Friday 27th September
Where: River & Rowing Museum, Henley on Thames
Guest Speaker: ERIN KENNEDY MBE
​​
This month Erin Kennedy MBE will be taking the hot seat. Erin will be freshly home from her Gold Medal Paralympic journey in Paris and will be here to share her story whilst still on a high!
Erin is a 2 xParalympic Champion, 3x World Champion, 4x European Champion, World Record Holder and Breast Cancer Campaigner.
She was diagnosed with breast cancer in May 2022 at the age of 29 and is an advocate for early detection and diagnosis. She continued competing during chemotherapy, winning Gold at the 2022 European Championships. Erin returned to international competition in 2023 following a double mastectomy and 15 rounds of chemotherapy, winning the 2023 European Championships exactly a year to the day that she was diagnosed.
Erin was awarded an MBE in the 2022 New Year's Honours List for Services to Rowing.
Not only is she courageous and inspiring with an extraordinary story to tell, she is also a fabulous speaker. You are in for a treat and we feel very lucky to have her with us so soon after her epic Paris victory.

Introducing the Henley Female Newtwork:
​
🌟 Fabulous Speakers: We never shy away from big topics and have had speakers covering everything from prison rehabilitation to the menopause and from finding joy to public speaking. If you are interested in speaking about a topic that will spark authentic conversation and debate please email with the topic and how it would be relevant to our audience.
​
🌟 Friendship and Business Connections: We all know how important the 'know, like and trust' factor is in business and in our experience having real, interesting conversations is the quickest way to supercharge that genuine connection that we're all looking for. And this network isn't just about business networks, it's also all about our personal networks. It's about meeting like minded women who we enjoy spending time with both within HFN meetings, and outside of them.
​
🌟 A Supportive Community: Community and connection really matters - indeed loneliness is associated with an increased risk of heart disease, depression, and cognitive decline (in one study the decline was comparable to smoking 15 cigarettes a day). So being part of a warm, welcoming and supportive community really matters.
​
🌟 Supporting the Chiltern Centre: Each month at our regular monthly meeting 100% of the proceeds are donated to the Chiltern Centre to support their work to empower young people with disabilities to live life to the full.
