The LeicestHERday Trust is a non for profit organisation. Set up in 2001 by the Rt. Hon Patricia Hewitt, then Minister for women, who put together an influential group of women with a mission to see what could be done locally to make a difference to women.

Today, LeicestHERday has grown into a full time charity, run by women for women. LeicestHERday not only encourages and celebrates women throughout Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland, but we also provide excellent contacts and links through all the people we interact with. The main way we do this is through putting on events. We also currently have around 1,000 members subscribed and this is growing at an exciting rate. Although our primary aim is to engage and empower women, we welcome men and boys to all our events. Empowering women has a direct positive effect on family, friends and the community.
