Councillor Francesca Brennan, Candidate for Inverclyde in the 2026 Holyrood elections

“There is no other organisation doing what LWN does to increase women’s voices and activity. 

I became a member because I wanted to learn as much as I could and be around other women in the network to learn from them too. The diversity of experience of the LWN membership is so important – I’ve gained so much from networks of women sharing our knowledge and skills.

 

That’s one of my biggest takeaways from LWN – wanting to make things happen for other women as well as myself. Thanks to LWN I have seen how I can use my confidence and authority to change my community for the better. I have gained so many ideas and so much support from LWN.”
