This Year’s Co-Presidents
Lucy Gugas and Beth Sutherland took over the leadership of Bloom North in January 2025 having both been a part of the network for a number of years. This year, we are embracing the mantra of ‘fewer, bigger, better’ in all our endeavours.
Our mission remains steadfast: to nurture a safe, collaborative, accessible and engaging community where everyone feels welcome.
We’re committed to supporting our current members by fostering an inclusive and friendly environment, while also seeking opportunities to grow and expand our network. Above all else, we believe in making sure every step of the journey is filled with fun!
Lucy and Beth are joined by an incredible team of 16 Head of Sub-Committees, who lead initiatives across the below areas:
We are always excited to welcome new faces and fresh ideas. If you’d like to get involved, don’t hesitate to reach out to Lucy or Beth - we’d love to hear from you.
