The peace and quiet that becomes a constant reminder of your isolation… 🙄
The 5-minute TV break that turns into binge watching a Netflix series … 📺
The unlimited cups of tea that end up half-drunk and skyrocketing your energy bills… ☕
But when you don't have a dedicated office space, what's a girl to do?
Imagine being able to unlock your phone, quickly search and reserve a space to work at that gorgeous looking location you didn't even know existed.
Not only does it get you out of the house and give you a much-needed change of scenery 🌳 but it gives you that extra buzz of being around people to finally crack on and get that thing you've been procrastinating over DONE ✅
FLOCKHERE is an exciting new app specifically tailored for women who work from home, giving them access to inspiring spaces across the whole of the UK to get sh*t done.
Because the alternative to working from home shouldn't be paying for an overpriced desk at the local coworking space which you can only use twice a month (if you're lucky).
We believe when your working hours are flexible (and often sporadic!) your working location should be too.
It's usually pretty ambiguous whether that nice local coffee shop will welcome you and your laptop with open-arms, a stable WiFi signal and access to a plug socket.
(And anywhere that does openly advertise this is usually full before you've even managed to drag a brush through your hair in the morning.)
Whether it's 2-hours during the middle of the afternoon, or a full day meeting a client, there's a place for you.
And we want YOU to be part of this journey with us.
We know your inbox is a sacred place, but we don't trust Mark Zuckerberg as far as we can throw him.
We will be completely transparent in sharing everything with you, the good, the bad, the messy, the downright embarrassing and everything in between.
We're not just trying to build an app. We're creating a community and launching a MOVEMENT to create real change for women who work from home. And it starts by us all connecting with each other
Hey, I'm Danielle 👋
I've been an official work-from-homer for the past 5 years after quitting my job as an events manager and setting up my own business so I could have the freedom and flexibility to be there for my young family.
Don't get me wrong, I loved working from home at first!
Not having to deal with the dreadful commute or attending meetings to talk about meetings, but it wasn't long before the lines between my home life and work life started to blur and the isolation and loneliness started to set in.
So I did the obvious thing and searched for places I could work from, but the only co-working spaces I could find were in London and they were all so expensive.
Me being me, I refused to settle for Costa and overtime, found some great places and formed relationships with local independent cafes, restaurants and hotels before beginning to organise coworking meet-ups for other women who were like me, desperate for connection & a change of scenery. (Fun fact: this is how my other business was born!)
But the question kept coming up again and again:
"Do you know any nice places I can work from?"
FLOCKHERE is my answer to that question. And no, you don't have to run your own business to make use of the app.
It's for all and any WFH woman that's looking for somewhere warm, welcoming and aesthetically pleasing to get sh*t done from.
I believe that just because we work on our own, doesn't mean we have to work alone.
I hope you'll support us in our journey of bringing FLOCKHERE to life!
Danielle :)
