📅 Friday 8th May, 11am – 1pm
📍 The Met – Didsbury (M20 2WS)
Join us at The Met in Didsbury for a relaxed morning of networking, connection and reflection. Hosted in The Met’s beautiful Barker Room, this event is designed to help you find collaborations and contacts to grow your business – while also exploring how to look after your wellbeing as a small business owner.
The Morning
⏰ 11.00am – Free-flow networking
Arrive, settle in and get to know other business owners, freelancers, entrepreneurs and creatives from across South Manchester.
🧠 11.30am – Guest speakers
We’ll be joined by the wonderful Zoe from Manchester Mind – a local mental health charity creating opportunities for businesses to collaborate, give back and support wellbeing across our community.
As small business owners, freelancers and creatives, it’s so important that we understand how to look after our own mental health while growing our work.
✍️ Jo will share practical ways to build resilience and balance in business – followed by a short goal-setting activity to help you reflect on your growth, values and strategy for the year ahead.
You’ll also have the option to share your goals afterwards during your optional speaking slot – a lovely way for everyone in the room to support, connect and stay accountable together.
