INSPIRING WOMEN WIRRAL: A SEASON OF GROWTH, CELEBRATION AND EXTRAORDINARY ACHIEVEMENTS
by Shirleyann Haig, Founder of Inspiring Women Wirral
As we move into a new season for Inspiring Women Wirral, it feels like the perfect moment to reflect on the momentum, magic and milestones that continue to shape our community. What began as a supportive space for like-minded women has evolved into a thriving movement filled with collaboration, confidence and connection. Every month brings new achievements, new friendships and new stories of women rising— both personally and professionally.
A Night of Inspiration and Shared Wisdom Our most recent gatherings were powerful reminders of how transformative it can be when women sit together, speak openly and share their journeys. A heartfelt thank you goes to our recent speakers, the wonderful Joanne Gibson and Alison Blackler, whose talks left the room buzzing with clarity, hope and renewed motivation. Joanne’ s grounded guidance around Neuroinclusivity and Alison’ s insight into emotional patterns resonated deeply with everyone in attendance. Their ability to hold space, encourage reflection and spark growth is truly special, and we are grateful for their contribution to our community.
A New Achievement to Celebrate— Prestige Award Winner This month also brought an incredibly proud moment for me personally and for Home Property Solutions Ltd. We have been awarded Property Training Provider of the Year in the Manchester & Northwest England Prestige Awards 2025 / 26. The judges highlighted our personal approach, community warmth, ethical teaching style and genuine commitment to helping people understand property without pressure or inflated fees.
For a business built on integrity, accessibility and purpose, rather than flashiness or ego, this recognition feels especially meaningful. It reinforces what we do across all our business sees and CICs and it’ s Inspiring Women Wirral stands for at its core: doing good work, in good ways, that make a real difference.
Celebrating Our Amazing Womanifest Finalists Inspiring Women Wirral continues to be a hub of ambition and achievement, and we are thrilled to congratulate the incredible women within our network who have been named finalists in the Womanifest Awards 2026. Their passion, dedication and impact are a reflection not only of their hard work, but of the spirit that runs through our entire community, women cheering for women, women lifting women, women being seen.
We are excited to celebrate them collectively, loudly and proudly. Their success represents what happens when women refuse to dim their light.
Limitless Volume 2— Ten New Authors Announced Another exciting milestone has been securing our ten new authors for Limitless Volume 2: Inspiring Women Redefining Success, set for publication in Spring 2026. Each author brings her own story of resilience, reinvention and rising against the odds. Please join me in celebrating: Andrea Edwards, Caroline Gavin, Chloe Tucker, Jackie Fairweather, Joanna McCawley, Kate Blundell, Linda Sigríður Baldvinsdóttir, Mel Kelly, Terri Kearney, Zoe Morris.
Embracing the Extraordinary— A Book With Heart Our beautiful book launch for Embracing the Extraordinary at Quirky Café was another highlight of the season. The room was filled with emotion, connection and relief from parents who finally felt seen. Thanks to our incredible community, we have now raised over £ 6,000 through crowdfunding and local fundraising to support production and accessibility. This book has purpose, soul and impact, and it’ s only just beginning.
This book is special for so many reasons:
• It is written by parents of neurodivergent children
• It is made for parents walking the same path
• It offers practical guidance, emotional support and lived experience
• It celebrates difference, resilience and the power of accepting our children exactly as they are
