The Question?


How might we make Wigan the best place for Women?


We are a collective of women who Live, Work and Play in the Wigan Borough.


We have a deep desire to live in a world where every woman feels welcome, cared for and powerful.


The seed of this network has been planted within us all and we want to see what a woman positive Wigan looks like.
