What could be more inclusive than singing and dancing together through the city bringing the old alleyways to life and performing in the iconic theatrical spaces Leadenhall Market and Paternoster
Celebrate International Women’s Day 2024 with Music in Offices #inspireinclusion
All are welcome to join Music in Offices’s International Women’s Day Chorus – March with us or sing with us at our performances on March 7th drawing on historical women in the City across 500 years.
City of Women celebrates the advance of women in and around the City of London, in their own words. The piece explores women’s freedom of thought (and religion), their right to work, to be independent financially and socially, and to vote and take part in public life. The theatre of Leadenhall Market was chosen for its first performance because, until the 1840s, women porters did heavy lifting there – carrying a whole sheep carcass, or a side of beef.
The music sets the words of women of character who made significant breakthroughs. Some are well-known, like suffragist Emmeline Pankhurst defending herself at the Old Bailey, or reformer Elizabeth Fry experimenting with micro-loans. Some you might not have met, like the risk-taking financier Hester Pinney or the cross-dressing pickpocket Mary Frith, aka Moll Cutpurse.
The texts, written by Veronica Horwell, draw on fresh historical research, and feature in the songs and within the radiophonic sonic interludes in between.
Join Music in Offices on Thursday 7th March 2024, 12.30pm – 2pm for a singing flashmob like no other! Led by Laurel Neighbour, we’ll celebrate the power of women’s voices in the City of London throughout history.

Let’s bridge the silos and leverage the power of community to positively change the future of endometriosis and women’s health for good. Following the success of our
Following the success of our inaugural, first-of-its-kind, sold-out annual This Independent Life conference in 2023, we are thrilled to be back exactly one year on to host our next Future of Endometriosis conference in 2024!
Join the TIL community in London for this exciting in-person event bringing together different voices and perspectives from across the endometriosis and women’s health space during what we at TIL HQ are terming ‘Women’s Weekend’ (International Women’s Day on 8th, Conference on 9th, and Mother’s Day on 10th!)
Hear the latest advancements in research, treatment options and support for people affected by endometriosis and women’s health conditions, and learn from leading experts including patient advocates, healthcare professionals, academic researchers, startup founders, and more. Together, we will ignite and elevate interest, investment, and innovation to make positive change a reality in endometriosis and women’s health once and for all.
Why
For too long, endometriosis, and women’s health, has not been taken seriously. Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 women and people who menstruate globally, a similar prevalence to diabetes, yet takes on average 7-10 years to get diagnosed. There is currently no cure, no true understanding of the cause, nor any forms of diagnosis available other than surgery. But there is hope.
This Independent Life exists to help all people achieve health, wealth and fulfliment in life. From workplace talks, workshops and programs, to research, startup and government advisory, to community educational events, we help to bridge the silos, foster community and collaboration, and provide education, support and options to people with endometriosis and women’s health conditions regardless of their background or where they’re at on their journey.
Future of Endometriosis will be a safe space for people with endometriosis and women’s health conditions to learn, share, connect, ideate, and collaborate with others in the women’s health space to leverage the power of community and create positive change for the future of endometriosis and women’s health.
Agenda & Speakers
We have curated an agenda to bring you the latest and greatest in endometriosis and women’s health. There’ll be an exciting and informative mix of panel discussions and expert speakers, roundtable hackathons, networking, and free goodie bags worth £££ including products, discounted resources and options for support through our wonderful partners and sponsors.
Please note for Zoom attendees joining virtually that we will start the meeting at 12:30pm GMT once all arrivals are completed.

An event for those who identify as men to be inspired and make commitments for actions as better allies off the back of IWD.
Too often we hear that International Women’s Day comes around every year and while it was wonderful to celebrate women, nothing fundamentally changes. Because as soon as IWD finishes, everyone moves onto the next thing and inequity is often forgotten. And those men who were determined to do that bit more get sidetracked or they simply don’t know where to start.
This event, brought to you in collaboration with WeAreTheCity, is specifically designed for all those men who attended IWD events and want to commit to doing more. We have pulled together a fabulous panel who will be covering some of the key issues that still need to be addressed to establish gender equity and will be providing practical tips for becoming a better ally and an agent of change.
Our panel, hosted by Vanessa Vallely OBE, founder of WeAreTheCity, will be made up of the following agents of change:
They will discuss some of the key barriers that currently exist as well as the significant impact men can have as allies and agents of change.
In addition, we will be providing a male allyship canvas which you can use across the year to ensure that you are driving real change.
