Labour Women’s Network has a long tradition of providing gold-standard training, renowned across politics and beyond, and with more success stories than we can list.  It's training that works!

We pride ourselves on carefully considered content, lots of interaction, relevant to the world we live in, all delivered by our experienced training team… meaning our courses are in high demand.

Our training approach is challenging, feminist and grounded in political realities.

LWN are proud to have played a significant part in ensuring the Parliamentary Labour Party is diverse, high calibre and brimming with potential. Labour's first woman Deputy Prime Minister, Angela Rayner and Britain’s first Chancellor, Rachel Peeves are both LWN graduates. We now have a 46% female PLP, the country's first 50/50 government, and the largest number of women in the House of Commons in history. Our training and support led to an historic 100 new women Labour MPs elected in 2024, 58 of whom are LWN graduates, and many more of whom accessed our candidate support.

But we don't just stop at MPs even tho' the list is long. As well as Angela and Rachel, Harpreet Uppal, Miatta Fahnbulleh, Dame Diana Johnson, Abtisam Mohamed, Marie Tidball, Ashley Dalton; regional mayors Tracy Brabin, Helen Godwin and Kim McGuinness, as well as a host of Police and Crime Commissioners, councillors and council leaders, plus many more!

Our Parliamentary training is only available to LWN members, and courses are open to new or longstanding members.  If you are not a current member of LWN, please join here before applying.

All our training opportunities are subsidised by LWN membership, our fundraising efforts and donations, to keep costs as low as possible. However, we believe that finance should not be a barrier to participation, so we offer the Jean Black Bursary Scheme, in honour of Jean who was one of our four founders who sadly died in 2019 - on all our courses.
