The We Do Not Care Club

An internet video phenomenon created by Melani Sanders, the We Do Not Care Club has been making a big impression on women of a certain age around the world. 

Have you been nodding along to the WDNC Club videos? What are your announcements today?

Why has the We Do Not Care Club struck such a chord with so many women? What does it reveal about the expectations placed on us and the liberating feeling of letting them go? 

Do we laugh along with the WDNC Club and Bridget Christie's The Change because otherwise we might cry? 

As Victoria Smith elaborated so brilliantly in Hags, becoming an older woman is often a process of re-evaluating our younger selves' disdain for the wisdom of our foremothers. How do we overcome the barriers between generations of women and build a movement that works to improve all of our lives?

About us...

On the THIRD SATURDAY OF EVERY MONTH we invite women* to join us in our woman-only space to share their experiences and insights. We sit in a circle, as each woman is equal. Every woman is welcome to speak and listen. Yes, we have cake.

Tickets are free, but please donate to help us cover the costs of the venue, the cost of the crèche & teas & coffees. Only donate if you can comfortably afford to do so. There is a card reader at the meeting too.

Our crèche is FREE! Please book by midnight on 12th November so we can plan the play space. Do let us know of any additional needs they have. If a crèche environment is not appropriate for your child, we will happily pay their regular care worker to have them for the duration to enable you to join us.

If you need help with travel costs please get in touch.

*We have a single-sex policy. Strictly only- women registered female at birth. Women registered female at birth who express a trans or non-binary identity are welcome and attend. If you were registered male at birth we are happy to signpost you to a variety of similar groups (scroll down)

**This means that sometimes women (registered female at birth) attend who present as male. We recognise that this can be unexpected! We would like to reassure you that our spaces are strictly male-free and women-only. 

To learn more about our group and our campaigns visit our website and follow us on social media. Please read our policies and mythbusters. If you want to create spaces for women please download our activist pack that tells you everything you need to know.

Our rules...

Many of our topics can trigger disclosures of sexual & domestic abuse. Women often talk about difficult and personal issues. We hold this space to enable women to do this. Many have no other space in their lives dedicated to reflection in this way. To enable women to feel safe, centred and empowered to do this, all attendees enter into our community pledge; confidentiality, self-organisation, trust, respect and sisterhood.
