Woman Within UK Leaders

– In Remembrance: Honouring Mellon –

 

It is with heavy hearts that we share news that Mellon Horsell, a most treasured member of our Woman Within community, has passed away. From the moment she attended her Weekend, Mellon was at the very core of our organisation, participating fully whilst also bringing her uniquely creative facilitation skills to our Weekends. We will miss her deeply.

Mellon staffed countless Weekends, she sat on our WWUK Board, held Circles and lived a life of service. Inspiring and supporting women for many years, Mellon’s mission to bring her energy to empowering women was clear and a gift to our community and to other WW regions.

She will be remembered for her storytelling—her ability to weave magic as a facilitator in a gentle and power way. Her piercing, twinkling eyes, beautiful smile and her distinctive voice will live on in many women and our community has been so blessed to have her guide us.

To continue Mellon’s commitment to empower women, Woman Within UK has created “Mellon’s Bursary Fund” where your donations will help women who require a financial boost so they can attend our Weekend. To donate directly, click here and tick ‘Mellon’s Bursary Fund” under Frequency.

We will continue to be inspired by Mellon and speak her name with love when we meet, when we staff, when we reflect on the gifts women bring to Woman Within.

Blessings, love and gratitude to you Mellon from all of us in Woman Within – you will forever shine in our hearts.

 

The Leadership Team

Clare Lunan

Treasurer and Leadership Circle Member

I step forward, almost immediately after completing my weekend as I want to give something back to the community.

I was a little worried as I had only just completed my weekend earlier in the year that I joined the board and thought that I wouldn’t have anything to offer, but I do. WWUK is there for all women, whether we have been involved with the beginning or just a few months.

Melissa Kelly

Head of Marketing

“I step forward to initiate and promote the welcoming space and opportunities offered to women in our WWUK and global communities. I support, I inspire, I lead.”

Katja Layher-Segal

Company Secretary

“I step forward to help change the difficulty I have previously experienced in accessing information. I want to help change that. I am balanced and considered and hope to hear other points of view whilst able to stand firm and speak my truth, encouraging healthy debate and clear communication.”

 

Pippa Kerslake

Leadership Circle Member

“I step up to enable more women to experience the weekend . I feel it is such important work that WW do and I’m committed and proud to be part of this community”

Gale Vincent

Weekend Registrar

“I step forward to  join the Leadership Circle as I have always appreciated the endless growth, love and connection that being part of the community has brought me and I feel honoured to help make any of those gifts  possible  for other women.”

Annie Gilmour

Circle Co-ordinator

“I step up to Leadership to help ensure the smooth running of the organisation and to make sure as many women as possible can benefit from the weekend training. As Circle Co-ordinator I facilitate the connections that support women, putting them in touch with others in their community and, where possible, with existing circles.”
