This event offers a unique opportunity to honour the local women whose voices, stories, and ideas have shaped the way we see the world.
Join us for our next In The Know event as we bring together two powerful celebrations: International Women’s Day 2026 and World Book Day.
This year, the two occasions sit side‑by‑side on the calendar, offering a unique opportunity to honour the women whose voices, stories, and ideas have shaped the way we see the world. Our theme — “Give To Gain – Stories That Lift Us All” — reflects the spirit of generosity, collaboration, and shared knowledge at the heart of IWD 2026.
The morning will combine networking for LCR stakeholders with an informal panel discussion exploring how women’s words open doors, broaden perspectives, and inspire meaningful action. By pairing IWD with World Book Day, we hope to celebrate not only women’s achievements, but also the stories that help build a more equal, informed, and inspired society.
We’re also supporting children’s literacy as part of the event, and inviting attendees — if they’re able — to bring along any new or pre‑loved children’s books (in good condition) to donate to a local charity. A small gesture that could spark a lifelong love of reading for a child or young person who needs it.
We hope you can join us.
