3rd Birthday Party (Manchester)

MWEG was born on Meetup on 22 May 2021 and we became a non-profit entity on 10 January 2022. We are now more than 12,000 online and growing every day. We now have our own WE MCR podcast, and we have just received funding from The National Lottery too!

We have brought this group to this amazing point together and we deserve to celebrate ourselves and everything we have accomplished.

This group would not be here without you. So, we are going to eat and celebrate our journey together.

Thank you so much for being here and for everything you’ve done to support our journey! ❤️❤️❤️ I hope you can join us for fun, laughter, dancing, and empowerment. 💃😊💃

Cost

The venue required a £10 deposit. Therefore, we require £14.00 to reserve your place which consists of £10 payment as a deposit towards your food, and £4.00 non-refundable PayPal/Admin fees.

Finally, we want to include everyone. Therefore, please email us at finance@womenempoweredmcr.org if you would like to apply for funding to attend this event.

Payment Processing/Admin Costs

We are charged a non-refundable fee for every transaction and the rates are varied and keep changing but they are generally between £0.45 and 1.50. Therefore, we are charing a flat fee of £1 to cover this fee.

We are also charging £3.00 to cover other costs such as cost of decorations, cake, and reimbursements of travel costs to volunteers. We are a nonprofit entity and all funds go towards helping women.

Refund Policy

If you attend, you will receive your £10 deposit back at the venue to pay for your food. You will then need to pay for any additional costs of your food and the service charge.

Please get in touch if you are unable to attend an event. Generally speaking, your payment is non-refundable. However, where the terms and conditions of the venue allow for a refund and you have an unforeseeable or urgent issue, we may be able to offer a refund, minus any costs we have incurred (such as fees by the venue and the PayPal/Admin fees) or we may be able to switch you over to another event.

Also, we always welcome substitutes. If you can’t make it, why not resell or gift your space to someone else?

Whatsapp Group

We will need to provide pre-orders to the restaurant for this event. Therefore, please provide us with your mobile number when booking your ticket. Alternatively, please send your telephone number to info@womenempoweredmcr.org so that we can add you to the WhatsApp Group.

Photography/Videography

We do not record or screenshot our online events because we want women to feel safe and share information with us.

We take photos/videos of our in-person events which are held in public places and use them for marketing purpose and in order to encourage other women, who may be anxious and alone, to join us. However, we also respect everyone’s right to privacy and we want you to feel safe at our events. Therefore, if you would not like to be photographed, simply please inform our photographer or a member of our team. We will then place a heart over your face to protect your identity when using the photos/videos for marketing purposes. Or, you can simply remove yourself from the area when we are taking photos/videos.

Please note that, due to social media settings, we cannot remove your photos/videos after they are posted. Therefore, please remove yourself or inform a member of our team at the start of the event so that we can modify the photos before we post them.

Friendly Reminders

All of our events and platforms are a safe space for women. This means:

• We do not judge. We respect other women. We understand that each of us is unique and different, and we avoid gossip about other women;
• We are kind towards other women. We address each other in a loving and kind manner.
• We support other women. We are present for other women in any way we are able.
• We keep matters confidential and private. We respect each other’s privacy and do not take personal information out of events and platforms.
