The #WECAN Network, a legacy of the #WECAN Project
#WECAN (women empowered through coaching and networking) initially started as a three year project part funded by the European Social Fund, designed to build the leadership skills, capabilities and opportunities of women in the Leeds City Region.
From 2021-2023, #WECAN provided fully funded leadership and management support and training in the form of accredited ILM qualifications, leadership development workshops, and events. Over 900 women from over 500 SMEs, charities and social enterprises accessed our support joining the #WECAN community. Find out more here .
