“Networking” is such a dry word for what we do at “Networking” is such a dry word for what we do at the Hook. It’s so much deeper, more connective and more meaningful than the usual process of rocking up to a morning of mining for leads. We here to create a safe space for vulnerability, imperfection and authenticity. Because really why else are we doing this? What could possibly hope to fulfill not just our businesses but our hearts and lifestyles around which our business operate. 

We’re different and we’re proud of that and we’re going to keep leaning in to our own particular whole person focused approach to small business living. So, will we see you in July for more of the same? Here’s the details…

💖 When? Monday 20th July
💖 Time? 9:30 meet, 10:00 start, 12:00 finish

🏳️‍🌈 HAPPY PRIDE MONTH FOLKS! 🏳️‍🌈 Here at The Hoo 🏳️‍🌈 HAPPY PRIDE MONTH FOLKS! 🏳️‍🌈
Here at The Hook Project (a queer founded business FYI) we are passionate about inclusivity within the Essex and surrounding counties small business and creative community. Everything we do is about lifting ALL ships and no small part of that is our commitment to the LGBTQIA+ community. Just this year we have already made special efforts and events to highlight, educate and promote challenges that face female led businesses and neurodiverse led businesses. These areas of our events calendar hold a particularly special place in our hearts.

Now as it’s Pride month we want to go that extra mile to help highlight LGBTQIA+ owned businesses or businesses specifically aimed to service the LGBTQIA+ community. So here’s how it’s going to work… 

💖 Tag ALL the LGBTQIA+ owned businesses you know
💖 Share this post to your stories to get the word out 
💖 If you are an LGBTQIA+ owned business comment “🏳️‍🌈 ME”
💖 You will be asked to send us a photo of yourself and/your business logo and a couple of sentences on who you are, what you do and what Pride month means to you

Remember, it’s easy to think “it’s 2026 surely everyone’s just fine with the LGBTQIA+ community?!” but the truth is we face micro and macro challenges out in the world every single day. So your bold, loving and enthusiastic support is more valuable than you realise. Let’s do what we can to boost these amazing businesses this June and get shouting about the brilliant LGBTQIA+ small biz community we have right here on our doorstep!

Happy Pride team! 🏳️‍🌈💖

What a dayyyyyyy! HookFest was everything we hope What a dayyyyyyy!

HookFest was everything we hoped it would be, but without you brilliant people turning up, giving yourself permission to rest and rejuvenate- then it means nothing. 

We had the most gorgeous group of people, with emotion, empathy and all so kind and welcoming to each other- any initial nerves of “being out of their comfort zone” quickly disappeared, which is everything the Hook is about. 

Without our Charlie was super sad, but you all were incredible and definitely made me (Lucie) feel super supported and we had a fabulous day. 

More to follow as there’s so much to share, but a HUGE thank you for being there- it’s such a special day and we loved sharing it with you. 

Our event sponsors Daragh, Ellie, Tara and Wendy- thank you for your support and investment in this incredible community. We love you so much. 

So for 2026- we are over and out!  See you next time??

Love Lucie & Charlie xx
