The BloomWell Fellowship

BloomWell exists to support women before crisis, through community led, preventive wellbeing spaces rooted in care and lived experience.

The BloomWell Fellowship brings together women who want to go deeper in supporting this mission. Fellows help shape our programmes, strengthen our partnerships, and ensure BloomWell grows with intention, safety, and impact.

Fellows come from diverse backgrounds, including wellbeing, education, research, policy, community organising, and lived experience leadership.

What is a BloomWell Fellow

BloomWell Fellows are our most engaged contributors.

They help design, deliver, and steward BloomWell’s work across programmes, advocacy, partnerships, and learning. Fellows are not therapists or fixers. They are trusted leaders who act with care, accountability, and respect for boundaries.

As a Fellow, you may engage in one or more focus areas.

Fellowship focus areas

Programmes and Circles

Supporting or leading wellbeing circles, events, or cohort based programmes.

Research and Learning

Contributing to insight gathering, reflection, and evidence that shapes BloomWell’s tools and approach.

Advocacy and Partnerships

Representing BloomWell in policy, corporate, or sector conversations aligned with women’s wellbeing.

Community and Capacity Building
