The campaign was set up to raise awareness of how individuals from different race and ethnicities can, at times, feel that immeasurable feeling of isolation and exclusion within the workplace, and what steps they would recommend to bring change. We are delighted to have collated together over 45 stories from individuals across the investments and savings industry who have shared their personal journey of how they have felt like a #FishOutOfWater.
We do hope you can join us.
As part of the launch of the next phase of the campaign, we have invited a number of industry leaders to gather to come and talk to us not just about their own experiences, but also about what comes next in terms of measuring change and their perspectives of how firms can address some of the challenges brought out by the themes raised in the #FishOutOfWatercampaign videos.

17/09/2024 09:30 - 15:30(GMT+01:00)
Rise London
41 Luke Street London EC2A 4DP
Great things happen when we get together. That’s why we’re bringing you Nurture Network Live 2024 taking place this year, in central London. It takes a village is
Come and grow your network, and meet people who could become valuable allies. Connect with the investors who are shaping the next generation of innovators and creators and hear a list of inspiring speakers and more. Grab your early bird ticket before 28 June.
We’re in an era where the main character’s energy reigns supreme/is celebrated and the thing to aim for. And it’s brilliant, it sees people, particularly women and underrepresented groups, taking back control of their narrative. But if you’re not careful it can feel like a bit of a solo pursuit.
What about the supporting cast!? Every leading lady needs a supporting cast. Much like this year’s theme implies, it really does take a village to turn out a well-rounded successful business. Yes we know the original phrase refers to bringing children up, but…
Building on ideas touched upon in the inaugural Nurture Network Live 2023 event – around asking for and accepting help, and how success is not achieved alone – this theme would explore how female founders and business leaders can call on the support of their own “village” to build their business and thrive in their careers.
Sign up to secure your early bird ticket and seat before 28 June to avoid disappointment.
Date: Tuesday 17 September 2024 | 9:30am -3:30pm
Location: Rise London, 41 Luke Street London EC2A 4DP

24sep13:0014:00Having it all? How the motherhood penalty impacts women’s work beyond pay
24/09/2024 13:00 - 14:00(GMT+01:00)
Having a child is bad for a woman’s lifetime earnings and this “motherhood penalty” is now well recognised as a major component of the gender pay
But how does the motherhood penalty extend to working conditions and the holistic experience of work?
How do mothers fare when it comes to benefits, training opportunities, promotion prospects, control over day-to-day tasks, working hours and work-life balance? How has this been changing over time as the maternal workforce evolves?
Join us to discuss all of this, as well as the factors contributing to mothers’ job quality, including childcare issues, gender roles at home and maternity discrimination, plus practical steps that could be taken to improve mothers’ job quality, wellbeing and retention in the workforce.
Speakers:
The research presented in this webinar is funded by the Nuffield Foundation.
