Genuine connection
Meet people who understand the pressure of being the person making every call.
Women entrepreneurs in South Yorkshire
Build your business surrounded by women who get it.
The Trailblazer Connect brings women founders together in Maltby, Rotherham and across South Yorkshire for practical learning, honest introductions and steady peer support.
A network that understands you
Business support without the hard sell
Entrepreneurship can feel isolating when every room has a different language and few familiar faces. Our women-focused community gives female founders in Rotherham and women in business in Maltby a calmer place to talk through real decisions.
All ages, backgrounds and business types are welcome. You can arrive with a side project, an established company or a plan still taking shape.
There is room to listen first.
Useful conversation
Bring a question and leave with a clear next action, a contact or a fresh angle.
Respectful referrals
Members recommend people they trust and explain why the introduction makes sense.
Flexible participation
Choose in-person mornings or online meet-ups around work, family and caring responsibilities.
Practical ways to take part
What we offer
Small, regular opportunities make it easier to keep showing up and keep moving.
Women's networking breakfast
Start the day with relaxed introductions, useful referrals and a conversation that does not need a polished pitch.
Confidence business workshops
Practise public speaking, pricing, negotiation and visibility with examples you can use that week.
Accountability circles
Set one clear commitment, report back to a small group and get thoughtful support when plans wobble.
Flexible meet-ups
Join remotely when travel, school runs or caring duties make an in-person event difficult.
Women growing together
Progress gets easier to see with peers beside you
Members bring their own experience, then make space for someone else's next step.
"I finally feel confident asking for what I'm worth."
From side project to a firm weekly plan
After joining an accountability circle, Lasharn Qadira turned a loose side-hustle idea into regular client work and a clearer weekly schedule.
A referral that became shared work
Two members introduced their services during a breakfast conversation, then shaped a joint offer for a local client.
