Babies. Children. Parents.

The Hub that grows with you!

The BCP Hub is more than a health hub, it’s a community built around supporting local families and small businesses to grow together. By bringing passionate independent practitioners and small business owners under one roof, we’re creating opportunities to connect, collaborate, refer, support and champion one another while providing our community with trusted care close to home.

When local small businesses thrive, our whole community thrives.

August Wrap Up + What’s Next

A BIG THANK YOU

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our Women in Business night on Thursday, 13 August!

Every time we get this group together, we’re reminded why we started W.I.B. in the first place. It’s about creating a space where women in business can connect, collaborate, laugh, share the highs and lows, and genuinely support one another.

No awkward networking. No hard sells. Just good people, good conversations and a growing community of women who get it.

A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU TO ALY

We need to give a massive shout-out to Aly, who went above and beyond helping with the night, from set-up and clean-up to emergency alcohol runs and everything in between!

All while being her usual amazing self and representing the BCP Hub as The Village Doula.

If you, a friend, client or family member is looking for a Mums + Bubs group or postpartum doula support, look no further than Aly.

She brings such warmth, calm and genuine care to the families she supports, and we are very lucky to have her as part of our Hub community.

Check out her offerings here 💫

AND THEN THERE WAS ILLY…

Due to a minor calendar mishap, AKA Illy failing to cross-check the BCP Hub calendar with her personal calendar, she accidentally booked the event on the same night as her first little getaway as a single Mumma with her girls.

So while Illy was off having some much needed quality time with the girls - Bluey’s World for the win!

Jess Holding Down the W.I.B. Fort!

Jess was left holding the W.I.B. fort and running the night solo — and anyone who has organised an event knows that is no small feat!

From welcoming everyone and keeping the night flowing, to making sure the food, activities and all those little behind-the-scenes details came together, Jess stepped up and took the reins without hesitation.

But rumour has it… she absolutely nailed it!

A huge thank you to Jess for holding down the fort and making sure everyone still had the fun, relaxed and connection-filled W.I.B. night we had planned. W.I.B. simply wouldn’t be what it is without you, Jess!

THE FOOD I’M STILL JEALOUS ABOUT 🍕

A Huge Thank You to Our Dinner Sponsor — Pilgrim’s Pizzas 🍕

A very special thank you to Pilgrim’s Pizzas for so generously sponsoring our W.I.B. evening and providing dinner AND dessert for everyone! Supporting local small businesses is at the heart of what W.I.B. is all about, so having another proudly locally owned and operated business get behind our little community made the night even more special. Pilgrim’s is based just down the road in Boolaroo and prides itself on fresh dough, local ingredients and seriously good pizza.

So, from Jess, Illy and the entire W.I.B. community, thank you Pilgrim’s Pizzas for supporting our night and feeding our wonderful women in business. If you’re local, make sure you return the love and support these guys too!

Check out their website here.

The next Women in Business Night is officially locked in for:

Wednesday, 30 September

Yes… WEDNESDAY!

We heard your feedback about mixing up the nights of the week, so September is getting a Wednesday night trial.

Jess and Illy are already talking about new bonding activities, conversation topics and ways we can continue making these nights fun, valuable and a little different each time.

More details will be coming soon!

NEVER FORGET… WE ARE THE W.I.B.

We genuinely love the small-business community that is growing through these events.

Whether you’ve been in business for years, you’re just starting out, you work for yourself from the kitchen table, have a clinic, a shopfront, a side hustle or a big dream you’re still figuring out — there is a seat for you here.

Keep connecting. Keep collaborating. Keep recommending each other. Keep showing up.

Because business is a whole lot better when you don’t have to do it alone.

We are the W.I.B. — and we’re only getting started. 💕
