# Women in Construction Hub
Women in Construction Hub (WiCHub) is a membership-based community organisation based in Bolton that addresses the underrepresentation of women in the construction industry. The hub serves women working across all levels of construction—from trades to management and business ownership—providing them with practical support, networking opportunities and collective advocacy.
The organisation tackles isolation within a male-dominated sector by fostering peer-to-peer connections, facilitating work referrals between members and creating spaces for professional development. Members gain access to curated job opportunities, tender alerts across public and private sectors, and partnerships with industry suppliers offering exclusive discounts.
What sets WiCHub apart is its dual focus on individual advancement and systemic change. Whilst providing members with tangible business benefits—networking events with expert speakers, learning resources covering EDI, marketing and business planning, and an annual retreat—the hub simultaneously campaigns at government level to drive industry-wide change around equal pay and opportunities.
The community model is particularly distinctive; members commit to active participation, supporting fellow members and attending events, creating genuine reciprocal relationships rather than passive membership. Revenue from awards and fundraising supports external charities helping women more broadly.
WiCHub recognises that success requires more than individual effort—it requires collective action, shared resources and a supportive culture shift throughout construction.
