In line with "Time to Talk Day", CWN are delighted to be hosting a collaborative “Dinner and Discussion” event with The Conduit and Wellbeing of Women.  The event will take place at The Conduit Club on 9th February, 2023.  This event is open to Members only and tickets cost £45.  This includes a three course meal and two glasses of wine.  After the meal, there will be some networking where you have the option to buy more refreshments if you so wish.

The topic of conversation will be “Health: We all have it, why don't we talk about it?” Join us along with members of The Conduit for a casual social supper club to explore the stigma of talking about health and the opportunities that might arise if we tackle this taboo.
