When I first started Inspire & Connect, my goal was clear: to build a space where women in business could completely shed the pressure of corporate networking. I wanted to escape the stuffy boardrooms, ditch the forced 60-second pitches, and instead create a room filled with your genuine business besties.
Over the past few years, watching this community grow has been awesome. I have seen lifelong friendships flourish, collaborations spark naturally over morning coffee, and women fiercely cheer each other on through every high and low of entrepreneurship.
But as I looked at the sheer volume of talent, passion, and heart sitting around our meeting tables every single month, I realised something powerful. We aren’t just a support group; we are a mini-economy of incredible, female-led local businesses.

Rewarding You for Hanging Out
That realisation is exactly where the vision for the Inspired Perks Scheme was born. I sat down and asked myself: What if being part of this network didn’t just fuel your soul and boost your business, but genuinely rewarded you in your day-to-day life?
The vision behind Inspired Perks is beautifully simple. I wanted to create a loyalty ecosystem that allows our members to save money on the things they already need, love, and use, while simultaneously driving continuous visibility, love, and footfall directly back to our own network members.
Imagine a network where your monthly membership completely pays for itself simply because you are choosing to support the brilliant woman sitting right next to you.
An Affordable, Circular Community Economy
By keeping our core membership at a completely flexible, non-committal £13.99 a month, access to our community stays open and accessible to everyone. Whether you are running an established company, balancing a brand-new side hustle, or just quietly exploring an idea—there is a seat at the table for you.
Now, with your digital Inspired Perks card in your hand, that tiny monthly investment unlocks exclusive discounts on luxury facials, local coffee treats, creative pottery workshops, physical wellness packages, and expert financial planning sessions.
This scheme isn’t just about grabbing a discount code. It is about circulating our loyalty, our community power, and our pounds within a trusted circle of brilliant women. It’s an ongoing reminder that when you lift up another woman’s business, the whole community thrives.
I am so incredibly proud to launch this next chapter of Inspire & Connect. Thank you to every single founding business who has contributed an offer to our rollout. Grab your digital card, use your perks, collect your loyalty stamps, and let’s keep supporting one another—one incredible perk at a time!
