About Women Inspired - South Yorkshire
The South Yorkshire Women’s Network exists to inspire, empower, and elevate women from all backgrounds to reach their full potential. We are a community rooted in compassion, equity, and collaboration, committed to removing barriers, amplifying women’s voices, and creating opportunities for meaningful personal and professional growth.
We recognise that structural inequalities, gender bias, and the unequal impact of work-life balance continue to hinder many women’s progress. In response, our network offers a dedicated space where women can connect, lead, and thrive, supported by mentorship, shared learning, and leadership development tailored to their lived experiences.
While our focus is on the empowerment of women, we also champion allyship and inclusivity, encouraging dialogue and greater understanding across all genders to build a more equitable and supportive future for everyone.
Together, we are shaping a culture where every woman feels seen, heard, and fully equipped to lead.
In December 2022, the first South Yorkshire Women’s Network was established. Initially the NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) set up annual face to face networking events to bring women working in health and care across South Yorkshire together.
In July 2024 a South Yorkshire wide Women’s network was set up and titled ‘Women Inspired – South Yorkshire’
