Dani here, founder of Social Success Circle.

I want to share why I started running inclusive networking events.

Before launching Social Success Circle, I ran events for another local networking group and I loved it. The connections, the business it brought in, the growth it created... it transformed my business in just 4 months.

The more I connected, the more visible I became. The more visible I became, the more people knew me. And the more people knew me, the more sales, impact, and opportunities followed.

I loved leading those events, but the structure didn't suit me and the pay didn't reflect the work. Still, the spark was there. And in 2024, after sitting with the idea for two years, I decided it was time to create my own networking community.

One thing was clear:
❌ I didn't want it to be women-only.

Over the last year, I'd worked with some brilliant men who completely shifted my expectations; supportive, encouraging, collaborative. I wanted to build something where every gender identity was welcome and connection came before category.

So Social Success Circle was born, designed to be inclusive, accessible, and open to all.

Because the networking world still has huge gaps. And because I sit within multiple marginalised communities; a carer, a woman with ADHD, and part of a family with disabilities, I've experienced those gaps first-hand.

Those barriers to business growth are real. And I wanted to remove them.

This mission is now woven into everything I do. We're committed to:
💫 Working with experts
💫 Investing in marginalised communities
💫 Leading ethically
💫 Building on accessibility and equality

Because inclusion isn't optional. It's leadership. It's ethical business. It's impact. And it's the pathway to growth.

So I'll ask you this:
💛 What are you doing to be inclusive?
💛 What are you doing to be accessible?

Drop your thoughts below... Let's talk about what inclusion means to YOU.

After that first event, I left feeling motivated, inspired, and honestly… changed.

I’d connected with new people, one became someone I bought from, and another became one of my closest business besties (and still is today).

I might not remember everyone in the room,
but those two connections were solid.
They mattered.
And they changed the trajectory of my business.

Fast forward 12 months…
I wasn’t just attending the event anymore, I was running it.

I had gone from the shy, nervous, unknown business owner walking into that room for the first time…to becoming someone everyone recognised, someone people booked tickets to come and see, someone who had gained confidence, visibility, and momentum.

All within one year.

Not only was I hosting the event,
but my business was growing, my customer base was expanding, and my visibility had skyrocketed...all because I started doing one simple but powerful thing:

Building connections.
Showing up.
Getting in rooms.

By that point, I was networking every single week; online, in person, wherever I could. And honestly? I could never have predicted how much it would change my life.

Because that moment was the beginning of everything.
It led me to the business I have today, as a business consultant and ultimately to launching the very first branch of Social Success Circle in 2025.

Networking didn’t just help my business.
It shaped my future.

You genuinely never know what’s waiting for you in a room full of people who “get it.”
So whether it’s one of our inclusive networking events at Social Success Circle
or another event you’ve had your eye on…

Get yourself in the room.
It might just change everything.

Have you ever walked into a room or event that changed something for you, big or small?

Your experience might inspire the next person who’s nervous to take that step.

It’s Disability History Month 💛

And this month feels deeply personal, because it speaks to a community I’m part of, both through my own lived experience and through the people I love.

While I’m not disabled in the way many imagine, I do have disabilities: ADHD, hypermobility, and plantar fasciitis; all of which come with their own challenges. But for nearly 14 years, I have also been a carer for my husband as he developed multiple disabilities.
And that role… changed everything.

Disability shapes your daily life in ways most people never see.

There’s the judgement.
The assumptions.
The stares.
The moments in the street where your partner moves “too slowly” and strangers lash out.
The pressure.
The exhaustion.
The grief.

All for a responsibility you never asked for...and would never walk away from.

Those experiences opened my eyes to how differently disabled people and carers are treated, and how many barriers still exist in everyday spaces, including business.

And that’s one of the reasons Social Success Circle was born.

I’ve attended countless events over the years as a parent of neurodivergent children and as a carer to a disabled husband… and I saw, again and again, that business spaces weren’t built with people like us in mind.

So I decided to build something different.

A place where disabled entrepreneurs, whether freelancers, start-ups, or seasoned six-figure founders, can network without judgment, access opportunities, and feel genuinely supported. A place where carers are welcomed, not questioned. A place where identity and ability are not barriers to growth.

That is the mission behind Social Success Circle.

Inclusive. Safe. Human.

And growing across the UK.

We have events online, and in person in London, Leeds, and Doncaster, with more areas opening soon as we expand our leadership team.

I’d love to open this gently…

What’s one thing you wish more people understood about disability or caring responsibilities?

Your voice helps shape more inclusive spaces for all.

I’m sharing something I’ve never spoken about openly as the founder of Social Success Circle, until now.

This year, I had the privilege of hearing not one, but two powerful talks from transgender speakers.

The first time, it was through a podcast. I listened to a trans person share their story, their lived experience, their challenges, their truth. It opened my eyes in a way I didn’t expect. It was heartbreaking, moving, human. I found myself tearing up as I realised how much I had never been exposed to before.

A month or two later, I attended an event… and to my absolute surprise, the SAME speaker stepped onto the stage. Hearing their story again, in person this time, reached me all over again. It helped me learn. It helped me understand. It helped me grow.

And that moment reminded me why Social Success Circle was created in the first place, because I’ve always been open to possibilities, open to people, and open to the truth that everyone deserves to be seen.

Later that same day, another speaker took the stage. Their talk wasn’t about being transgender, it was about identity.

And that message hit me harder than I ever expected. Because the truth is...We all struggle with identity!

Whether it’s gender identity, sexuality, skin colour, our roles, our upbringing, or who we believe we’re “supposed” to be… identity is a universal human experience.

And at the end of the day, none of those labels change the core truth... We are all human beings.

And THAT is what fuels the mission behind Social Success Circle.

I want us to come together to do better, be better, and create meaningful change, so the future is safer, kinder, and more inclusive for everyone.

So I want to end with a huge thank you to the two speakers who impacted me more than they’ll ever know at The Big Festoon this year: .arloharris and .

Your voices, your stories, and your courage deeply moved me and have strengthened the fire behind my mission even more.

I’d love to open this space up gently and respectfully 👇

What’s one thing you’ve learned recently that expanded your understanding of someone else’s lived experience?

Your reflections help us all grow together.

It’s National Caregivers Month 💜

And today, as founder of Social Success Circle, I want to speak from the heart.

Caregiving is something deeply personal to me, and it’s a mission I’m committed to building into the future of my work. My vision isn’t just to create inclusive spaces for business owners to grow, it’s also to support those who are working carers, whether self-employed or employed.

Because carers carry so much more than people realise.

👉🏻 Extra petrol for hospital trips.
👉🏻 Higher electricity bills to power medical equipment.
👉🏻 Replacing clothing or essentials that neurodivergent children burn through daily.

The emotional strain. The financial strain. The time strain.

And often… very little support.

In the future, I want to change that.

I want working carers to have access to therapy, respite, treatments, self-care, and support. I want them to be able to get help with daily tasks; cleaners, housekeepers, or practical support, fully funded, while still ensuring fair pay for the people providing those services.

💫 Equality and equity matter.
💫 And unpaid carers matter too.

This mission is at the heart of Social Success Circle and the inclusion work we’re building now will help bring this future CIC/charity to life.

This is bigger than business.
It’s about people.
It’s about care.
And it’s about creating change that actually supports those who give so much of themselves every single day. 💛

If you’re a carer, or you know someone who is, tell me in the comments:
What support would make the biggest difference to your daily life right now?
Your insight will shape the future of this mission.

I'm looking to sponsor a charity!

Going into 2026 I'm working on social impact (and impact overall).

Something I want to do is sponsor a charity.

This includes offering an exhibition space at Innovation Celebration 2026 and fundraising. Throughout the year we will also collaborate on visibility.

However, I would love to support something small. It's always harder for the new ones, the little ones and I want to support there.

I am also willing to offer monthly consultancy to support the growth of the charity.

Bonus if the charity aligns with the values of the event; Innovation & making change are the theme, but education, inclusion and accessibility are important.

Little caveat; founder MUST be organised and willing to take action. We cannot create impact without action and when it comes to collaboration organisation is massively important to me. I'm talking dates in diary and showing up, it doesn’t have to be at my level 😆 Got to give you a chance.

The support package is worth £2600+ and I'll throw in some bonuses along the way, so we can really make a difference!

If enough interest I'll create an application form. Please let me know if you're interested or recommend a charity / tell a charity founder about this.

Only one space available, however I will choose another applicant each year.

We are also in talks at Social Success Circle ®️ about how we support charities and CICs in future. This will be a collaboration with both SSC and .biz
