I have been working in the Voluntary Sector(Third Sector) for over 15 years now.

Thanks Fiona, for more new year wishes from you!

And more Very Happy New Year wishes to you too!

yes, it's lovely to have a quiet night in sometimes - it's also lovely to go out partying sometimes too!

So wishing you all a wonderful New Year's Eve party!

Much love

Hi Fiona
it's really wonderful that you've come to join our community.
Thanks so much for your appreciative comments. Yes, I too have so much faith in what women can do together!
I feel women naturally are drawn to working together and cooperating.
Fiona, of course you are more than welcome to let all your female colleagues and contacts at Westminster, and anywhere else, know about us. We are great believers in networking.
They are all welcome to join the community if they wish!
I look forward very much to hearing more from you Fiona.
Much love & best wishes to you,
Chris

Hello there Fiona,
I have co-founded a global women's organisation and a trading arm which is a social enterprise. I'm in North Dorset and see that you're in Somerset, so thought i'd write to you!
Well done for 'giving it a go'! With your experience & good intentions, I'm sure you'll do brilliantly!
Blessings
Chris

i believe your idea of a social enterprise is great but i believe there is a great need for such in developing economies since SMEs constitute more than 80% of businesses.

get to see a fellow Ugandan fighting poverty .
