About the PWN Core group

The Plymouth Women's Network core group is a friendly volunteers-based team in charge of taking decisions to move the initiative forward.
We meet regularly and take decisions by consensus.

Any woman (cis or trans) who agrees with the PWN aims and is willing to attend regular meetings is welcome to join us.
