Our Mission
To make sure no woman has to feel alone.

Our impact so far
A community of more than 6,700 women
Nearly 250 events hosted
67 local independent businesses supported
2026 finalist, Best Social Impact, Small Business Awards UK
Our aims
Reach more women. We want to take Dear Girls Club beyond Edinburgh to cities across the UK and further afield, so wherever a woman moves or starts over, there's a friendly face waiting.
Build a strong network. Friendship is the start. We want to grow a network where women share advice, opportunities and support, in life and in work.
Support wellbeing. Friendship and mental health are closely linked. We want to do more for women going through a hard time, and create spaces where they can slow down and feel cared for.
Champion women who create. We'll keep backing independent businesses and female creatives, giving them room to share their work, host events and grow alongside our community.
Stay affordable. However much we grow, money should never be the reason a woman misses out on connection.
Our values
Kindness, inclusion and real connection. No cliques, no judgement, no performance.
