Join us for the latest exciting event in our Bristol Distinguished Address Series, recorded live at the Watershed in Bristol. A conversation with Camilla Rigby and Rachel Mostyn, Co-Founders and CEOs of Bristol-based business the Women's Work Lab, as they explain how and why they are doing well by doing good.

Since launching, Women’s Work Lab has supported over 300 women – mostly single parents, many with experience of domestic abuse, children with SEN and their own health conditions – on their journey into work. Camilla and Rachel's shared vision is to become the UK’s biggest employability support for unemployed Mums.

Rachel Mostyn & Camilla Rigby, The Women's Work Lab | Bristol Distinguished Address Series

In this special BDAS episode we explored leadership, identity, and lived experience within the health and care sectors through the lens of the panel’s extensive expertise. It brought together voices from creative practice, policy, community leadership, and lived experience. Looking into how they intersect to shape more inclusive and equitable systems of care.
Host Corine Walker, a Bristol-based writer, director, creative producer, and performer, spoke with Sophie Chester-Glyn, Managing Director of a local care organisation and Director of Coproduce Care, and Councillor Lorraine Francis, a Green Party Councillor, social worker, and therapist.
This discussion explored how co-production, representation, and storytelling can challenge inequality and inspire structural change. It highlighted the evolving role of leadership – from community-led action to policy influence – and how authenticity and resilience can drive meaningful transformation.
