Start a new group

Help us start a new NWR group in your area and be part of a welcoming community for women who want meaningful friendships and interesting conversations.

We’re launching new NWR groups across the UK and are looking for friendly, reliable women to help get them started.

If you enjoy meeting people, making others feel welcome and bringing women together, we’d love to hear from you.

Our groups offer a relaxed space where women can enjoy conversation and companionship. We know that walking into a new group can feel daunting, so we’re looking for volunteers who can help create a warm and welcoming atmosphere from the very first meeting.

Don’t worry, you won’t be doing it alone. We’ll take care of:

  • promoting the group locally
  • handling enquiries
  • inviting women to meetings
  • providing guidance and support.

All we ask is that you’re able to:

  • help us find a suitable local venue
  • attend the fortnightly meetings (usually around two hours)
  • welcome new members and help everyone feel included
  • keep in touch with us about how the group is progressing.

We’ll provide an introductory phone call, a short online information session, a New Group Volunteer Pack and ongoing support throughout the launch.

We’ll also find another volunteer in your area so that you’ll have someone to share the role with.

Together, you’ll help create a welcoming local community where women can connect, enjoy good conversation and feel they belong.

Get in touch for an informal chat at newgroups@nwr.org.uk or call 01603 406767, option 3 (New Groups). We’d love to hear from you!
