“This year’s theme for International Women’s Day 2026 is ‘Give To Gain’.

When we give, we gain. Together, let’s help forge gender equality through abundant giving with a mindset of generosity and collaboration.

When people, organisations and communities give generously, opportunities and support for women increase. When women thrive, we all thrive!” – internationalwomensday.com

❤️We don’t think you’ll find a more supportive or collaborative place than right here at Claridge House.

We have an amazing group of women here who all pull together, get stuck in and will always help each other out! The welcoming, warm and friendly environment people talk so fondly about after visiting Claridge House is down to the total kindness and caring attitudes of these incredible women and fantastic staff!

We are problem solvers, hard workers, multi-taskers, Mothers, Daughters, Sisters, Aunts, Wives and Grandmothers! We are resilient, we are open minded and open hearted and we are proud to create a space at Claridge House for people seeking peace and renewal – because, hell – we all need it right now!

Thank you Merry, Angie, Mel, Sarah, Emma, Ali and Kate! Not forgetting all the amazing women we work with here everyday – Trustees, Course Leaders, Volunteers, Friends In Residence…Let’s continue to advocate for each other and feel grateful that we get to work here together! 😍
