Fundraising and retreat update:
looking ahead to 2027!
What a journey it's been! Over the last three years, your incredibly generous donations have helped us raise £17,000 on this page, and every penny has gone straight into what we exist to do. That money has funded 11 retreats, giving women across the UK a fully funded break they truly deserved. Because those donations have been spent on retreats over that time, the total on this page shows what we've raised since we started, not money sitting in the bank. As a small team, we rely entirely on your support to keep going. We still have four retreat days to come this year, and planning for 2027 is already under way. Every new donation goes directly towards those 2027 retreats.
How do we choose our guests? This is the question we get asked most often: how do we decide who attends, out of all our applications? The first thing we look at is where each applicant lives, which is why we ask about it on our application form. As a Community Interest Company (CIC), one of our core principles is to build communities and networks of like-minded women in each area where we host a retreat. We gain so much joy and nurturing from our own supportive networks, and we know how valuable those connections can be. Guests bond over the experience, and afterwards we set them up with a WhatsApp group so they can keep supporting each other as a tribe once they're back in their busy lives. We also use local practitioners, so guests experience yoga, breathwork or a guided meditation with someone who lives nearby. Because we run a handful of retreats on set dates each year, we then look at who is available on those dates. We also consider any specific needs and how suitable each retreat centre is. Some accommodation has steep stairs, for example, which isn't right for everyone. Some rooms have twin or bunk beds, so we can welcome friends or sisters who are happy to share. That's why our team takes the time to interview every potential guest, to make sure the retreat is right for them.
What's next We would love to reach even more women in 2027, and we can only do that with your help. If you can, please consider donating again, sharing this page, forwarding it to a friend, or following us on social media to help spread the word.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Tamzin and the We Free Women team
