A NEW networking group for women will be launched in Durham next week (Friday, May 17).

Damsels in Success has groups nationwide but Durham’s will be the first in the North-East.

It will be run by Helen Jane, who has been part of a Damsels in Success group in Warwick.

She said: “Damsels in Success provides a nurturing and supportive community that enlightens and educates women, encouraging women to liver their dream and not settle for an ordinary life, and offers the support and tools to help do that.”

The launch event will be held at the Stonebridge Inn, Neville’s Cross, on Friday, May 17, from 9.30am to 12.30pm. For more information, visit damselsinsuccess.co.uk/durham
