An afternoon of inspiration, empowerment, and purpose awaits you at the She Inspires Afternoon Tea, hosted by the queen of networking, Sue France. Set against the elegant backdrop of The Midland Hotel, Manchester, this is more than just a gathering—it’s a powerful movement of resilience, success, and change.
Join us as we come together to celebrate remarkable women, share transformational success stories, and raise funds for our ambitious Empower 50Kinitiative—changing lives, one girl at a time.
Why This Event Matters: The Mission Behind Empower 50K
Across the world, 129 million girls are out of school due to poverty, conflict, and systemic inequality. Even for those who complete their education, breaking into leadership remains an uphill battle—women hold fewer than 30% of leadership roles globally.
At She Inspires, we refuse to accept these statistics as unchangeable. Empower 50K is our bold commitment to reach and uplift 50,000 girls worldwide, equipping them with the mentorship, skills, and opportunities they need to thrive.
This year, we’re on a mission to raise £5,000 to support 10 schools, and thanks to the generosity of Eagley House Nurseries, we’ve already started strong with £175 raised.
What’s Your Success Factor?
At the heart of this year’s Afternoon Tea is The Success Factor Panel—a powerful discussion featuring She Inspires award winners who have shattered barriers, built legacies, and are now paving the way for others.
Each speaker will reveal their Success Factor—the defining moments, mindset shifts, and game-changing lessons that propelled them forward. Expect raw, honest, and deeply personal stories about:
✅ Overcoming adversity and transforming challenges into opportunities
✅ Breaking into leadership and navigating male-dominated spaces
✅ Building confidence, networks, and influence that open doors
But this event is about more than just listening—it’s about engagement and reflection. We invite you to consider: What’s your Success Factor? What drives you, fuels your ambition, and shapes your impact?
