The Joy of Collective

10/09/2026

Just a casual Thursday lunchtime radio show appearance on Suffolk Sound with Sarah Smy
What an absolute delight. So much to say so little time. Did you know that Suffolk sound is run completely by volunteers? Amazing the things that can be achieved when community comes together 👏🏾

You can listen to the ramblings of a very tired but determined woman over at Suffolk Sound. I believe you have 7days.

My plan for the rest of the year is to make sure as many people as possible know about The Joy of Collective, understand what it's about and create a local network of people and businesses to collaborate with.

Let's see where else I can pop up

Walk and Talk
A free meet-up for women to get outside, be in nature, and have a talk about everything and nothing.

The Joy of Collective is a community for women to connect with other women and build their own village while learning to be a villager themselves.

The Supper Club; Money Matters
With Kathy Ogunbona (Kathy Ogunbona)

An evening for Women to gather and have honest conversations around money while eating delicious food from a two course menu created by ROOTS COMMUNITY CAFE

The aim is for women to feel clearer and more confident about handling their own finances and to have the opportunity to connect with other women.

There will be nibbles on arrival and a chance to get to know other Supper Club attendees.
Kathy will then talk about finances, help us understand financial structures, and what can be done to improve our current position.
There will be a chance to ask questions.

Come alone, bring a friend, bring all the women in your family if you like. I'm very passionate about women understanding finances and having the ability to be autonomous and independent. Even if you have no income, understanding how financial systems work is important for if the worst happens, you are not trying to learn new skills while in crisis or highly emotional life events.

Tickets are £36pp and available via the link in bio

May this be the first of many intentional Suppers addressing different subjects that affect women and giving them the information to move forward with clarity and confidence.

When the children return to school prepare to be sick of me as I start a rejection campaign in the hopes of connect to the aligned businesses in town and get The Joy of Collective name and values out there.
If my email lands in your inbox kindly reply even if you are not interested, feedback is a great way to learn and adapt.
