Our 2020 Programme
Welcome to a brave new decade and a really rock-solid set of Belles' speakers for 2020.
A comedic poetry performance from the wonderful Toni Kent. It touches on the difficulties of being a woman in a male-dominated industry, raising children while trying not to lose her sense of self and finding her feet as a performer.
Jenni Todd, a highly respected Relate qualified, BACP Registered, COSRT Accredited Counsellor & Psychosexual Therapist, is our February headline speaker.
