Welcome to Bloom and Grow online

The 6-month course for women wanting to grow a sustainable business.

The 6-month online course for women who want to grow their business with a group of like-minded women.

We have seen a significant rise in women setting up their own businesses in the UK. Running your own business is fantastic – it helps you to live a flexible life, fitting work commitments around busy personal lives whilst boosting the local economy. But for many women, juggling the various roles that we have make growing a business a real struggle.

There is clear evidence that businesses that use a business coach and have support structures in place, have significantly higher growth success. This course helps you reach clarity around what your business is doing, why you are doing it and how to move forward.

Is Bloom and Grow right for you?

If the answer is yes to both of the following, this course is right for you!

  • In business 12 months or more?

    Have you been running a small business, or a not-for-profit organisation, for at least 12 months?

  • Peer support networking

    Would you like to grow your business with a supportive group of peers?

How does it work?

At the Growing Club, we know how hard it is for women to get the support they need, to manage both the personal and professional parts of life. It can be extremely useful to have peer support alongside the course content.

  • A systematic process of 12 modules to help you grow your business consisting of: trainer-led videos, tasks, group calls and additional resources.

  • Monthly facilitated Zoom meetings each month, where you will be set goals and tasks to keep you on track with your business, as well as share homework, successes and challenges.

  • Accountability partners – being held accountable by your peers is extremely motivating! We find we are often struggling with similar road bumps on our journey to personal and financial success.

Hear what our students say...

Provides all the practical and emotional support you need

Nikki

"An excellent experience that provides all the practical and emotional support you need to make your business a success. I am so glad I signed up for this course and I am very grateful to the growing club for making it possible. Thank you so much!

I would never have signed up for this course had it not been online. Being able to access the material in manageable bite-sized chunks enabled me to study quietly on my own. Talk(ing) to other human beings in regular zoom meetings enabled me to grow in confidence and I learnt to enjoy talking to the other ladies in the group."

Practical, useful, real, honest and supportive

Kelly

"My favourite part of the course was the opportunity to focus on my own business on a weekly basis with prompts for thoughts and developments. Practical, useful, real, honest and supportive help to make your business (and yourself) flourish."

Helped me achieve my goals...

Janet

"I have found the Growing Club to be of great help and support. Jane is a brilliant tutor and mentor and is passionate about helping women to succeed in business. She is supportive and funny and the monthly sessions are informative and enjoyable. It is confidential and the support is excellent from Jane and everyone in the group. It has exceeded my expectations and really helped me to achieve my goals."

Growing Club Founder Jane Binnion

In 2016 The Growing Club CIC was founded by Jane Binnion. After 20 years as a youth and community worker and adult trainer, Jane was a single mum living on £80 a week ESA, because of a shoulder injury at work. Worried they were going to lose their house Jane had to find a way to bring in an income by working from home. She trained in social media and in October 2010 started her first ever business. Looking for peer mentoring herself, Jane started a group for female focussed business growth. Ten women signed up and that was the start of The Growing Club.
