Our story
Since 2011, we have made a concentrated effort to make Defence a better place.
Starting as a LinkedIn group, we have grown into one of the largest independent communities of individuals and organisations that celebrates and recognises the achievements of those working in defence of the nation.
​
In 2019, in collaboration with the MOD and industry, we launched the Women in Defence Charter which continues to grow.
​
In our 10th year we introduced our Careers Website and our Corporate Membership, all with the goal of making a better Defence where people can work and thrive.
Deeds Not Words ​
Our not for profit organisation is inspired, everyday, by Emmeline Pankhurst’s 'Deeds not Words'.
Everything we do has our community and defence at its core.
Through inspiring, challenging and working towards a critical mass of women, we put our words into actions. The more you get involved, the more we can give back, and the greater the change we can make.
