A UK charity dedicated to empowering women through mentorship, community, and opportunity.
Daffodils for Doris was founded in honour of Doris, a woman who believed passionately in the power of community and the importance of lifting others as you climb. What began as a small local initiative has grown into a registered UK charity (number: 1168073) touching the lives of hundreds of women across the country.
We match mentees with mentors who understand their challenges — women who have walked similar paths and are committed to sharing their wisdom, network, and encouragement.
We believe every woman has the potential to achieve extraordinary things with the right support and guidance.
We foster genuine connections — not just professional networks, but real friendships and mutual support.
Our programme welcomes women from all backgrounds, industries, and stages of their personal journey.
We champion continuous learning, resilience, and the courage to take on new challenges.
As a registered charity (number: 1168073), we are committed to transparency, accountability, and maximising the impact of every donation and partnership we receive. All funds go directly to supporting our mentorship programmes, workshops, and community initiatives.
