The Barbary

Earlier this week, we hosted our first International Women’s Day lunch and In Conversation with the inimitable @maryportasofficial and @vivgroskop at The Barbary Notting Hill, bringing together a brilliant group of women to share perspectives on leadership, collaboration, and the power of solidarity.

Today, on International Women’s Day, it feels even more meaningful to reflect on that conversation — and on the collective effort to create more opportunities for women.

The event has raised £2,500 for @kingstrust Change a Girl’s Life, giving women a working future with the resources, confidence, and opportunities they need to achieve their ambitions and build a brighter future. If you’d like to make a donation today, you can find our fundraising link in our bio!

Thank you to our partners @investec and everyone who joined us, contributed, and helped make the afternoon so inspiring.

Here’s to continuing to lift each other up.
