In addition to being one of the friendliest welcoming and supportive groups you can join, being a business member gives you so many benefits including at the moment access to great business presentations/talks that would cost a fair bit in the business world.

Being self employed is fullfilling but can also mean you feel isolated at times with no-one to turn to or discuss ideas with. Lyme Bay Ladies offer really good, friendly support whenever you need it and you can dip in and out of meetings and workshops without pressure. There's always a meeting somewhere each week and you are always welcomed with open arms.
Heather Pepper
Being part of Lyme Bay Ladies has genuinely transformed my life. After years of feeling isolated - navigating loss, low confidence, and doing everything on my own - I’ve finally found a true support network. This community has lifted me both personally and professionally, offering emotional encouragement, practical help, and incredible support for my art business. Thanks to LBL, my confidence has grown, I feel more in control, and I’ve learned not to let negativity define me.
Vivienne Littley
Being a business member of Lyme Bay Ladies since its early days has been an absolute privilege. I’ve watched the community grow and flourish alongside my own business, thanks to Lisa’s inspiring leadership and boundless enthusiasm. Joining was one of the best decisions I’ve made. I originally came for business visibility, but what I’ve gained is so much more - a vibrant, uplifting network and genuine friendships that have exceeded all expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend becoming a member.
Maria Morris
LBL has been a safe, nurturing place to test out business ideas and build friendships over the past few years. It’s a brilliant group of women who support each other and share the good times and not so good times. A great community if you’re new to the area or want to boost your connections for work or play.
Jane Rayner
Lyme Bay Ladies is a wonderful, warm friendly community full of inspirational women supporting each other with their lives and businesses. I love being part of this community and am very grateful for the friendships and business connections created.
Alison Johnson
I've been a member of LBL for a few years now. Every time I've attended a LBL meeting, I've been met with warmth, grace, and smiles. Lisa has built a wonderful community of supportive women, and creates a space where members can come and share their journey, promote their businesses, or deliver a talk.
Adela Mei
I’ve learnt so much, made so many friends and connections and continue to find a huge amount of inspiration and support to develop my business - I’m extremely grateful to be a part of LBL.
Juliette Adair
LBL introduced me to fellow female business owners, many also working alone. It’s given me great connections and lasting friendships over the years. If you’re stuck, looking for business advice, you’ll probably find exactly what you need right here in LBL.

When I returned to the UK, Lyme Bay Ladies gave me everything I needed - a brilliant community for expanding life, business, and friendship
