Join The Pink Coral Community
Find your people. Grow your business. Feel less alone.
Pink Coral was made for women who are serious about their business… but not so serious about standing up and giving a speech about it.
We’re the ones growing steady, strong and building a business around our lives. The ones who aren’t usually shouting the loudest online, but are still doing incredible things behind the scenes.
It’s not about forcing yourself to be extroverted or “network-y” to succeed. It’s about being seen, supported and understood exactly as you are.
Our community isn’t transactional or performative. It’s real connection, genuine support, and building friendships that go beyond business.
When you become a member, it’s more than just a monthly meetup – behind the scenes we’re promoting you, recommending you, and giving you access to the Pink Coral network and audience.
You get a full ecosystem of support – people who have your back and are invested in helping you grow.
Why I Started Pink Coral.
Running a business solo can get lonely. It’s just you (and maybe the cat) with no one to chat with, share ideas, or celebrate wins.
I hit a point where I felt stuck and isolated working from home. I craved human connection, and a more relaxed way to network that didn’t feel fake or forced.
As an introvert, I wanted a different way to connect that didn’t involve the anxiety inducing “let’s go around the room” stuff. A way to meet like-minded women, grow my business, and still feel comfortable being myself.
So I created Pink Coral: a warm, welcoming community for quietly ambitious women who want to grow their business and their circle of support, without the noise, pressure, or sales tactics.
What started as a small meetup in Fleet, Hampshire has grown into three buzzing hubs across Hampshire and Surrey, with more on the way, and where women can actually enjoy networking again.
Pink Coral isn’t a side project or a sales tactic. I’m not connecting you to me, I’m connecting you to others. It’s now the only business I run, and every bit of my energy goes into making it the best possible space for our members.
“The Pink Coral Community has been fantastic for me on a social level. Working on my own can be quite lonely, so it’s lovely being in a group where we can talk, share experiences and gain advice from other women in the same position.” ~ Lauren - A member since June 2024
Community Isn’t A Nice To Have, It’s A Must Have!
This Is What Membership To Pink Coral Really Looks Like:
NETWORKING & OPPORTUNITIES
We don’t do surface-level chats or “pop in and out” networking.
At Pink Coral, you build real relationships by showing up again and again, and connecting with women who genuinely care.
These are women investing in themselves, their businesses, and each other.
They tag you, recommend you, say your name in the right rooms, because they trust you.
That’s how clients find you, collabs happen, and your business grows - steadily, through people who actually know you.
PERSONAL GROWTH
You start off second-guessing everything, unsure if you’re doing it “right” or even if you’re cut out for this.
But bit by bit, that changes.
You learn from other members experiences. You get unstuck. You see what’s possible. You start to trust yourself more.
You make clearer decisions, feel more confident, and realise that you can do this!
And instead of feeling overwhelmed, you start feeling excited. Excited to grow, learn and run a business that fits your life.
SUPPORT SYSTEM
This is the bit so many people miss when working for themselves - the behind-the-scenes support. The personal check-ins, the chats after an event that leave you feeling lighter.
Pink Coral gives you a trusted group of women who actually show up to listen, to cheer you on, and remind you that you’re not the only one finding it hard some days.
You can share all of your wins and wobbles here.
You’ve got a trusted community by your side, because business was never meant to be done alone.
Whether you're just getting started in business or quietly growing something big and brilliant, membership is for business owners who are serious about showing up, staying consistent, and growing something meaningful.
Membership - How It Works.
We know life and business are busy, so we keep things simple.
Membership is low-pressure, and designed to fit around your life. Show up when you can, and let connections build naturally. Of course, the more you show up, the more you’ll get out of it!
Membership is by application only.
Anyone who wants to join Pink Coral, whether online or in-person, has to apply. This ensures we have the right people with the right intentions in the community.
Important:
MLM/network marketing businesses cannot join
If you have an MLM side hustle alongside your main business, that’s fine, just don’t promote it in our app or WhatsApp groups. You’ll need to join under your independently owned business
Our community is built on trust, genuine support, and intentional relationship-building, not selling or recruiting
You have two ways to join us:
-
Connect at a nearby hub to build deeper connections.
Choose your Home Hub
Each Pink Coral hub is its own little community – a familiar, friendly space where you’ll get to know the same group of women month after month. PAYG visitors can drop in up to two times, so you’ll always have a nice mix of familiar and new faces.When you join, you’ll pick a Home Hub, the one you’ll attend most often. This matters because:
It’s where you’ll build long-term, meaningful connections
You’ll be part of your hub’s WhatsApp group for instant support between events
You’ll know which events to prioritise, keeping things simple, and low-stress
We keep each hub intentionally small and community-focused so every event has that cosy, friendly, and familiar feel Pink Coral is known for.
Note: Fleet is currently the only hub with a monthly in-person coworking session, as it’s where Pink Coral began. Other hubs may explore coworking in the future if there’s interest, but it isn’t a standard membership perk right now.
This isn’t about selling to other members or pointless referrals. It’s about showing up for each other. Together, we make waves!
-
Join the community in the Heartbeat app, connect across the UK, and stay visible in your business from anywhere.
If you’re not near a local hub, or just love the idea of joining the wider Coral community, then online membership is perfect.
Online-only members can:
Build connections with Corals across the UK
Promote your business, services, and products in the Heartbeat app
Join in on discussions, share wins, and ask for advice
Please note: we don’t currently run online networking meetings, but who knows what the future holds!
“Networking with Pink Coral feels exciting, I never dread it. We’re all just working women looking to connect, with no agenda. If you’re local to Fleet, Hampshire, I can well and truly recommend Nikki’s events. Once again, I came away with my cup filled!” ~ Louise - A member since April 2023

What We’ve Built Here Really Works.
The trust in our community builds quickly, and with that comes: collaborations, recommendations, new clients, and friendships. Our members actually know each other, show up for one another, celebrate wins, and support each other through the ups and downs.
Even with just 20 women, we’ve achieved incredible things together:
Lauren refreshed the Pink Coral branding
Katerina and Charlotte ran a successful collab workshop and are bringing in two more Corals for their next one
Sarah’s hired Megan, Justine and Victoria for many projects
Vikki’s been looking after so many of us with her reiki and massage sessions
Sarah, Jane, and other members have run collab events that were so successful they added extra dates
Abby and Nikki have recently hired Emily to work as their Virtual Assistant
And that’s just a handful of opportunities found here. Beyond the business wins, members are becoming more confident, braver, visible, and locally known. They genuinely enjoy networking now, learning from each other, feeling motivated, and expanding their networks every month at our events.
And of course, it’s not all work, we’ve shared coffee catch-ups, cosy evenings, and dog walks along the way.
It’s real relationships built on trust, and it really works to help us grow the kind of businesses we love. Just imagine what’s next as the community continues to grow.
Why Seeing The Same Faces (Over and Over) Is Actually A Good Thing.
You might be wondering why you’d join a membership community instead of just attending one-off events or pay-as-you-go networking.
If you’re a solo or small business owner – especially if you’re offering a service – you’ll know people don’t usually buy the first time they meet you. They need to really know, like, and trust you first.
That’s why long-term, consistent connection matters.
When you show up regularly and see the same women again and again, the conversations get easier. They just flow. You’re not having to start from scratch or have the same surface-level chat 20 times.
Instead of small talk, you dive straight into the good stuff – what you’re working on, where you’re stuck, what you’re excited about. That’s where the real relationships (and opportunities) come from.
And while our members get priority access to event tickets, we always keep a few visitor spots open too. So there’s still fresh energy, new faces, and a chance to welcome more brilliant women into the community.
Monthly Hub Events.
We keep things simple with two core monthly events:
• Collaborative Coworking Session (Fleet hub only)
• Cuppa & Connect Networking (all hubs)
Want to see what they’re like and when they’re happening?
Meet Your Pink Coral Partners.
When you join Pink Coral as a local hub member, you get direct access to some seriously brilliant experts, and this membership perk is insanely valuable.

Membership FAQs.
-
We allow up to two visits on a pay-as-you-go basis (total, not per hub).
After that, you’ll need to decide if membership is the right fit.
-
Membership to Pink Coral Community is tailored for founder-led and independently owned businesses where you serve as the owner, founder, or director.
Please note that it’s not the right fit for network marketing/MLM enterprises, such as Tropic, Arbonne, Bodyshop, Herbalife, Travel Consultants, and similar organisations. This is because Pink Coral is designed to actively spotlight our members, their business, and their offers.
If you earn solely from building a team and those you recruit, sadly that’s not something we can support within the Pink Coral membership.
Alternatively, you’re welcome to attend our in-person events on a pay-as-you-go basis. However, please note that we encourage a supportive and collaborative atmosphere, and attendees must not engage in aggressive selling or recruitment during or after our events, regardless of the nature of their business.
-
Nope, and here’s why:
Community over competition. No two businesses (or women!) are the same. Even if you share a profession, your style, approach, and personality are unique to you. Clients and collaborators choose the person, not just the service. At Pink Coral, we focus on relationships, not competition.
-
When you join, you’ll choose your home hub (for example, Guildford, Fleet, or Farnham).
Your membership includes the monthly Cuppa & Connect at your home hub, which is always free for you to attend every single month. This is your anchor point and the heart of your Pink Coral membership.
Then you’re welcome to explore as many hubs as you like for £10 per visit (that’s 50% off the pay-as-you-go price)
Beyond your hub meet-ups, members also enjoy discounted tickets to special events like workshops, and coworking days — plus early access to book.
-
You don't need to send a replacement.
If you can’t make it one month that’s okay. Life is busy sometimes! Your membership gives you flexibility — you choose the events that work for you. The magic of community is that even if you can’t come every time, you’re still part of the network and conversation.
But remember; your fellow members and visitors are turning up for you, so do try to make as many events as you can.
-
Definitely not.
Pink Coral isn’t about “working the room” or pushing your services. We’re a community first. The connections you make here are about trust, support, and collaboration. Sales and referrals happen naturally when the fit is right, but they’re never forced.
We make it clear on our website, Eventbrite listings, and in all our marketing: if your only aim is to sell to the room or recruit our members, Pink Coral isn’t the place for you. And if we discover that kind of behaviour, you won’t be invited back.
-
We don’t do baseless or forced referrals. Our members only recommend you when they genuinely know, trust, and believe you’re the right fit for someone.
That’s what makes a Pink Coral recommendation powerful — it’s real.
-
If you’re serious about building a business and open to learning from and connecting with others, then yes.
But if you’re only looking for freebies or aren’t ready to invest in yourself yet, this probably isn’t the right time.
Pink Coral is for women who are ready to grow and prioritise long-term relationship building.
-
Absolutely. We’re not about standing up and pitching or doing awkward intros. Our events are laid-back, welcoming, and built on real conversation. You can show up exactly as you are.
You’ll soon realise networking can be fun and your confidence will grow.
-
If £30/month feels impossible, it might not be the right time for you. And that’s okay.
Pink Coral is here when you’re ready to invest in yourself and your business. For those who are, the return on connection, support, and opportunities far outweighs the cost.
-
Not at all. Pink Coral is for the quietly ambitious — women who are building businesses with purpose and balance, not hustle and burnout.
-
We don’t offer membership discounts, special offers or free sessions in order to keep things fair for our current paying members, but you do get your first Pink Coral Cuppa & Connect networking event at any hub for just £7 - book on Eventbrite.
Our Cuppa & Connect events are open to both Pink Coral members and PAYG visitors (up to 2 visits). But our members always get first dibs on event spaces, free entry, and unlimited access to events across all hubs. Plus ongoing visibility and support behind the scenes — so if you love the vibe, we’d love to welcome you in properly.
-
We’d be sad to see you go and please do let us know if we can do anything to improve your experience.
You must give 30-days written notice by emailing nikki@pinkcoralcommunity.co.uk
Founder members who cancel will forfeit their exclusive rate and benefits. If they decide to re-join in the future, it will be subject to the current membership price.
