International Women’s Day falls this week and I couldn’t let it pass without talking about something that means a lot to me.
I’m incredibly proud to be part of Buy Women Built, a collective of female-founded brands changing the face of entrepreneurship in the UK.
When I started Mini First Aid, I didn’t set out thinking about being a “female founder”. I set out as a mum, and a woman who wanted to make a difference. But over the years, I’ve realised how powerful it is when women build businesses, not just for profit, but for purpose.
What makes so special isn’t just that some of the UK’s biggest retailers are standing alongside us (although that visibility really does matter), it’s why they’re standing with us.
Not because of one brand or one founder, but because of the collective power of thousands of women building brilliant businesses.
Together, we are impossible to ignore, we create change, and we show our children, especially our daughters, what’s possible.
As a founder, being part of this movement reminds me that I’m not building Mini First Aid alone, I’m part of something bigger. A community of women supporting, championing and lifting each other up.
And that’s where real impact happens.
This International Women’s Day, I’m celebrating the collective power of women who build.
And if you’re supporting a woman-built brand today, thank you. It matters more than you know 💚
Oh, and if you’d like to purchase our Family First Aid Kit, you’ll find a link in our profile and on our website 🙏🏻
