Introducing #WECAN Connects: it is a quarterly event series brought to you by #WECAN with support from Lloyds Bank Business & Commercial.

Led by Leeds Business School at Leeds Beckett University in partnership with Edge Hill University and SEYH, the #WECAN Network is a community of women, businesses and supporting organisations supported by Lloyds Bank Business & Commercial. To put it simply – we support, champion and connect women in leadership. We support you by developing your leadership skills and confidence. We champion you by celebrating your successes and amplifying your voices. We connect you with other women, businesses, and available support.

Whilst the project came to an end officially in December 2023, our commitment to supporting women and organisations has only grown and we continue to support, champion and connect women in leadership through the #WECAN Network.
