Patch

⭐️ International Women’s Day 2025 at Patch ⭐️ From thought-provoking discussions to energising movement sessions, last week was a brilliant celebration of the women who bring our communities to life. In #Bournemouth, we came together for a week of creativity, connection, and conversation. A few highlights included a self-love session with Lu Featherstone, AKA Lu in Luland, a 5K Social Run & Feminine Yoga Flow with Karley Woodford, and bath bomb making with LUSH Bournemouth. We also joined Jessica Toale and over 50 attendees for a Women’s Safety Walk, opening important conversations about public space and safety. In #Twickenham, we teamed up with The Athena Network Richmond & Twickenham for a morning of networking, inspiring talks, and mindfulness, all in support of Fowler's Syndrome UK (FSUK). In #HighWycombe, we explored career journeys in coaching sessions with Helen Pethybridge from Chiltern Coaching before rounding off the week with a fantastic speed networking event hosted by COCO Collective Collaboration. A huge thank you to everyone who joined us, and to our brilliant photographer, Anna Lozian, for capturing these moments. #IWD2025 #womeninbusiness #WorkNearHome

Last week, we had the pleasure of hosting The Tech Bros’ Bad Ideas Build Day at Patch in York, in collaboration with the Women in Engineering Society at the University of York, Codecademy and ARIA. Bringing together women in STEM, this interactive event challenged teams to turn deliberately ‘bad’ ideas into working prototypes. From ideation to coding sprints and final presentations, it was amazing to see our spaces come alive with collaboration and big ideas. Not familiar with The Tech Bros? This brilliant organisation, founded by Milette Gillow and Sedinam Simpson, is on a mission to increase the number of all-female, all-technical startups, helping women in STEM take their ideas from 0 to 1 through hackathons, workshops, and their upcoming accelerator programme. Got an idea for a workshop, meetup, or hackathon? Let’s chat 🚀. #TheTechBros #womenInSTEM #yorkevents #worknearhome
