Meet the Team
Ingrid Fawcett
Co-founder
As a woman in midlife, I have felt and seen first-hand the challenges that this time of life can bring. Whether it was working for myself, working for ABC Life Support and bringing up a family, I’ve always wanted to do something positive. I returned to work during lockdown in 2020 as I wanted to be part of a growing organisation and work in a team again.
This has been a great experience, but I felt that I could do more. Having talked to friends, I could see this midlife was hard but who could support women like me who feel like they are at a crossroads in their job or career?
Sally and the idea of Midlife360 came along at exactly the right time, and it was something that I felt was much needed that I could add value and my experience to. Being able to create a social enterprise which aims to tackle the barriers faced by women in midlife to thrive at work really sparked my imagination. Working with women and employers to encourage, train and develop together to create a culture of understanding and growth – what a plan!
Talking to friends, I had seen the challenges of midlife and how it was affecting the confidence, self-belief and value of women around me. Life is never easy but add extra factors including illness, bereavement, caring responsibilities, children leaving home, the feeling of sameness, feeling unfulfilled at work and overlooked by employers can either bring an epiphany or in many cases a feeling of deep sadness.
I knew that Midlife360 could help to alleviate these feelings by bringing women together to support each other, train, retrain and coach these amazing humans.
Just because we are in midlife, it doesn’t mean we have to settle, whether this be at work or anywhere else in our lives.
Lived experience is a valuable resource, one which is often overlooked by our employers. We want to change how women in midlife are seen in the workplace and enable employers to recognise these skills, understanding and value. We want them to feel empowered to make changes and to develop themselves both professionally and personally.
We are in this together, midlife isn’t just about menopause, it is about making the most of yourself wherever you work or belong.
