Xero's Partnership with Women in Football
Introducing our partnership with Women in Football (WIF). We champion women in business and football to dream bigger.
Game On content series: Kelly Newton - Nixi Body & Laura Youngson - Ida Sports, mentee and mentor duo from year one of the WIF Xero Small Business Programme.
Empower, mentor and succeed
In 2023, Xero partnered with Women in Football to create the WIF Xero Small Business Programme (formerly, The WIF Entrepreneur Mentorship Programme, powered by Xero). Through this, we support female founders to develop their business expertise, financial knowledge and professional networks.
A game of two halves
The first half builds enterprise skills and professional networks, while the second is one-to-one mentoring.
Fostering a community
A network of like minded women supporting each other to grow and develop the business side of the game.
Bridging the gap
A programme to celebrate women in business and football, and improve financial sustainability across both.
