About the speaker
Heather is the Communications Manager of WEvolution, the founder of Huddle, "helping you make good stuff happen" with small accountability groups, and the woman behind the Women Who Fail podcast.
More about WEvolution
WEvolution is a charity established in 2011 to support women to collectively start their own self-sustaining micro-enterprises in small supportive groups (Self-Reliant Groups).
There are now over 150 SRGs in existence and the model was brought over to Scotland from India where there are millions of these (Self-Help) groups in operation.
SRGs are usually women from similar social and economic backgrounds, all voluntarily coming together to save small sums of money on a regular basis and sell products or services to generate income. They pool their resources to become financially stable, taking loans from their collective savings in times of emergency or financial scarcity, important life events or to purchase assets.
Many of us fail to see ourselves as producers and makers but Self-Reliant Groups help people realise their entrepreneurial potential in a sector that is traditionally reserved for the few, and shows us what we can achieve when we work together. They are also a route to a more inclusive society, helping members feel more in control of their lives - financially and emotionally.
The organisation works with partners across the UK and as far as Rotterdam, all working to grow the SRG movement within their communities.
Additional details
This month’s CreativeMornings global theme is Matriarchy. It invites us to shine a light on all the leaders who are also women, from across the vast spectrum of identities and experiences of womanhood. The decision-makers, the life-givers, the caregivers, the frontline workers, the problem-solvers, the world-changers. The organizers and activists, the artists and writers and innovators. The teachers, scientists, medical professionals, politicians, business owners. The ones with megaphones and the ones working behind-the-scenes. Without you, where would our world be?
We’re excited to have the amazing Heather Tosh as our speaker. You may know her from her work as WEvolution’s communications officer, or from her podcast Women Who Fail, or maybe from her side project Let’s Huddle where small groups provide accountability for eachother. Her story is sure to provide you some insight and inspiration!
With this month’s theme of Matriarchy, we also could not pass up the chance to invite the lovely pop duo The Eves to open our event with a few of their enchanting tunes! Come early and get your toes tapping and your booty shaking.
