Whaley Bridge Coworkers CIC opens its doors for European Coworking Day

Whaley Bridge locals are invited to drop by, grab a desk and join in the community spirit as part of this year’s European Coworking Day on Wednesday 14 May. 

European Coworking Day

Now in its third year across Europe, the initiative encourages shared workspaces to open their doors and celebrate the power of working together.

Hosted at Whaley Bridge Coworkers CIC, the day will include free access to desks (booking required) and a chance to meet like-minded people in a relaxed and friendly setting. Visitors are also welcome to pop in for a chat over coffee and cake.

Guest speaker Lucy Rennie will be on hand to talk about branding at lunchtime , offering tips on shaping your personal or business identity without the pressure of a hard sell. Janet Slyfield from Relax Generations will also be there all day to share practical ways to de-stress and look after your mental wellbeing, something increasingly important for those who often work alone.

“This isn’t about selling desks,” says Marella. “It’s about building community. We want to bring a bit more buzz to the village, give people a reason to pop in and see what we’re about. And if you leave feeling a little more connected or a little less stressed, then it’s been worth it.”
