Balancing – Supporting Entrepreneurial Parents & Carers

Thursday, April 3
10 – 11:30am
Barclays Eagle Lab, The Gateway Building, Discovery Park Innovation Way Sandwich CT13 9FF

 

Balancing Entrepreneurship and Caring for children and loved ones with Additional Needs can add extra pressure.

We aim to create a supportive community of founders who are facing additional challenges. We understand that as challenging and lonely being a founder can be, it can be magnified for those that have carer responsibilities too.

 

This event is a designed to be a safe space for those with extra care responsibilities to connect, share experiences, and discover resources designed to empower you both personally and professionally.

It’s also an opportunity to simply meet other founders with similar challenges.

 

What to Expect in our coming events:

  •  Networking Opportunities – Connect with like-minded carers and founders who understand the unique challenges of balancing business ambitions with caring responsibilities.
  •  Guest Speakers & Panel Discussions – Hear from founders, caregivers, and experts about strategies for resilience, work-life integration, and accessing support systems.
  •  Resource Sharing – Learn about funding, tech solutions, and community resources that can help you navigate entrepreneurship while providing care for your child.

We recognise the demands of entrepreneurship alongside the commitment to children and vulnerable people with additional needs.

This event offers a opportunity to explore practical solutions, build community, and feel supported in both roles.

This initial event offers an opportunity for you to shape the future events we plan to host in Southampton, Kent and virtually.

 

Who Should Attend?

Founders who also care for those with extended needs. There are no restrictions to the type of care or reasons for caring.

Our only ask is that anyone who joins is respectful of others in the group and the challenges they may face or support they may ask for.

We very much look forward to welcoming you.
