Chichester & West Sussex
Ways to begin.
Five ways in, from free to ongoing. Every price is on this page, because you should not have to ask what something costs before you know whether you want it.
01
The Community
Free
A Facebook group for women here in Chichester and the villages around it. People post what they're going to, what they'd rather not go to on their own, and what's on this weekend. You can read it for a month without saying a word. Nobody will mind.
- Open to any woman in or near Chichester
- Nothing to pay and nothing to book
- Notice of gatherings before they fill
- Leave whenever you like
02
The Circle
£25per month
Membership of the small group side of things. Regular gatherings, a members' WhatsApp group that moves at a human pace, and a standing invitation — which is the real point of it. Something is always already in the diary, so the decision has been made for you.
- Regular gatherings across West Sussex
- Members' WhatsApp group
- First access to every event
- A standing invitation, every month
03
Gatherings
£45per event
Small events for eight to ten women. A long lunch, a walk on the Downs, an afternoon somewhere worth going. Everyone arrives on their own — that's rather the point — and nobody is left standing at the edge of the room holding a drink.
- Eight to ten women, never more
- £45 per event, paid when you book
- No need to know anyone beforehand
- Goreti is there the whole time
04
An Afternoon
£150
Three hours, just the two of us, doing the thing you've been meaning to do. The gallery, the class, the appointment, the shop you'd rather not walk into by yourself. No membership, no commitment afterwards. This is how most women begin — one afternoon, to find out how it actually feels.
- Three hours, one-to-one
- Anywhere within about 25 minutes of Chichester
- A short call beforehand to plan it
- Nothing to continue with unless you want to
05
Beside You
£395 / £650 / £950per month
Ongoing support from one person who already knows the shape of your week. No introductions to repeat, no explaining it again from the beginning. The three tiers differ only by how much time each month.
- The same person, every time
- Time booked into the month in advance
- Everything set out in a written agreement
- Move between tiers with a month's notice
