Businesses and organisations are invited to become part of the hugely-popular International Women's Day celebration, taking place in Crewe.

International Women's Day will be hosted at Cheshire College South & West on Saturday 9 March, offering a wealth of opportunities for local firms and charities to raise awareness.

Hundreds of families flocked to last year's event which included a fashion show of traditional costume from round the world as well as dance displays, choirs, fitness sessions and more than 50 stalls selling arts and crafts.

The Cheshire College - South & West event is organised by Crewe-based charity, Motherwell Cheshire (Nub News).

The event is organised by Crewe-based charity, Motherwell Cheshire, as part of a movement to recognise the social, cultural and political achievements of women worldwide.

There's a range of sponsorship opportunities starting from as little as £50 which includes a banner to display on social media. 

The £1000 headline sponsor package offers great exposure including name, logo and website in the programme and a stand and banner on the day as well as a chance to put something in 200 goody bags and social media and PR in the run up to the event.

Motherwell Cheshire founder, Kate Blakemore from Crewe, told Nub News: "Getting behind International Women's Day is a great way for businesses to connect with the local community and receive valuable exposure. 

"More than that, it's a way of celebrating the amazing things women do on a daily basis and their contribution to the local economy.

"The feel-good vibe is priceless and already there's a buzz spreading across social media."

The event is one of many in the pipeline for 2024 as the charity continues to support women and girls with their mental health and families with its recycled clothing and baby items.

International Women's Day is supported by former journalist, Jan Roberts, from Nantwich. 

Jan added: "This year's theme is 'Women of Words' capturing how powerful words can be.

"Words are expressive and in the best sense, uplifting. The aim is to inspire all women and demonstrate how powerful words can be to influence change."
