The Rhubarb Club

Welcome to the Collaborative Women Community HUB, a space crafted by women for women, fostering connection, community, and solidarity. Our HUB is dedicated to providing free, interactive learning events for women aged 18 and above, inviting them to explore new horizons and expand their knowledge.

 

Since our official launch in 2015, we've been committed to offering diverse learning experiences aimed at building confidence, igniting inspiration, and fostering personal growth. In 2018, amidst a staggering number of reported cases of domestic abuse in Trafford, the Collaborative Women Community Learning HUB stepped up to support countless women who had previously felt overlooked. Our vision is to address the inequalities faced by women in Trafford and beyond, empowering them through education and opportunity.

​

Collaborative Women UK has played a pivotal role in reshaping the narrative for women, providing a platform for diverse voices and fostering self-belief. Our Community Learning HUB serves as a safe, non-judgmental space for women marginalized due to experiences of gender-focused abuse, homelessness, or isolation resulting from health challenges.

​

Here at the HUB, women aged 18 and above have access to a wide array of learning experiences, aimed at enhancing their psychological, emotional, physical, and financial well-being. Our environment is designed to inspire change, promote confidence, and stimulate personal growth, fostering peer-to-peer learning and encouraging social, financial, and psychological independence.

​

Over the years, increased interest from agencies and individuals has allowed us to develop structured projects with clear learning outcomes. As we move forward, our aim is to strengthen our learning framework, offering a mix of structured and unstructured opportunities to meet the diverse needs of our community.

​

Our key objectives include:

• Encouraging self-love and aspirations

• Creating a diverse and inclusive learning environment

• Improving knowledge, skills, and attitudes towards learning

• Fostering a fun and positive atmosphere

• Enhancing women's health and well-being

• Increasing community engagement

Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic in 2020, we adapted our workshops to a digital format, leveraging platforms like Zoom to ensure continuity of service. Thanks to grants, we were able to provide essential technology to those in need, ensuring accessibility to our programs.

Whether you're seeking learning opportunities, a friendly chat, or simply some time for yourself, our Community HUB welcomes you. Join us in celebrating the power of women's empowerment,

both in person and online.
