Check out our Women's Awards Wales website!

    An empowering collaboration designed to support & advance the personal & professional development of women across Wales.

    Women’s Academy Wales is Wales’ women’s empowerment ecosystem, where women grow with confidence, capability, and community, and are celebrated for their achievements through a purpose-driven awards platform.

    More than a network, we are a community where women connect meaningfully, develop real skills, and are championed every step of the way. Through structured learning, mentorship, and the Women’s Awards Wales, we provide spaces where women don’t just succeed individually, they rise together.

    Our members benefit from:

    • Connection that leads somewhere – build genuine relationships across industries and stages of life.
    • A safe but powerful space to grow – inclusivity, support, and confidence-building without intimidation.
    • Real personal and professional development – workshops, masterclasses, and leadership pathways.
    • Visibility and recognition – celebrate achievements and amplify your impact through our awards platform.
    • A culture of championing, not competing – lift others as you grow, creating collective momentum.

    At Women’s Academy Wales, you’re not just joining a network—you’re becoming part of a movement. A space where success is shared, voices are elevated, and women rise together.

    Events, programmes, workshops, 121, team days, mentoring & more.

    The Academy is our one stop shop for all things empowerment, starting with the foundation of wellbeing, moving onto boosting confidence & presence and finishing with empowerment & bespoke career planning.
