Join us for an evening of relaxed, guided networking and a practical workshop with Leah Halliday on social media planning.
The Nuture Network is a series of events co-created by local female founder, Leah Halliday and community organisation Midsteeple Quarter. We hope to create a warm, welcoming space for women in business across Dumfries & Galloway to build community and connection. Whether you're just starting out or years into your journey, we would love you to join us.
The evening will begin with our ‘Piece by Piece’ guided networking activity, designed to help you connect naturally in small groups.
Leah Halliday will then lead a practical workshop: Social Media Planning Without the Overwhelm. Before opening Flourish, an independent gift shop and refillery in Dumfries, Leah spent over 25 years working in marketing, PR and further education, including as a Creative Director for an award-winning social enterprise. In this session, she'll share the simple, practical approach she uses to plan Flourish's social media without letting it take over her life.
