Welcome to the Ö±²¥ÍÑÒÂ's Women's Network
About us
Our network is a welcoming and supportive community that is open to all women staff and students at our University. We focus on three main categories which are:
- employment opportunities
- health & well-being
- personal development
We hold events and activities throughout the year designed to support and inform our members on issues and concerns they may have, and campaign on their behalf. We are looking to build a strong and supportive community of women and provide a confidential space where we all feel safe and supported to share issues and concerns. We also work collaboratively with other networks across the University towards common goals and to address common challenges.

Join our Network and Activities
We have an internal team (on MS Teams) where members can share information, ask questions etc., and it is also one of the places where we publish information about forthcoming events. To become a member and be added to the team, please email us at WomensNetwork@beds.ac.uk
We also have a calendar of events, which include events organised by us, as well as other internal and external events which may be of interest.
Everyone is welcome to join our events and activities as we wish to be as inclusive as possible. We acknowledge that other colleagues want to offer us support and learn more about women's issues. All we ask is that you respect and support the safe and welcoming environment we offer for all women.
