Building BWB The Collective: Our Journey So Far

BWB The Collective is beginning to take shape inside a space with its own long history—an old church that has been thoughtfully renovated into something new, while still holding onto its character and soul.

What was once a place of gathering in a different form is now becoming a modern community space for people across Leicestershire to come together, connect, and take time for themselves.

The building itself has naturally lent itself to this transformation. With its rustic features, open space, and calm atmosphere, it already feels welcoming—like a place where people can slow down as soon as they walk through the door.

Rather than stripping away its past, the renovation has focused on working with what’s already here. Original features have been preserved and softened, creating a space that feels grounded, warm, and lived-in, while still being fresh and functional for what it will now hold.

BWB The Collective is being built around the idea of community—coming together for movement, workshops, wellbeing sessions, and simple moments of connection in a busy world.

This space will host a variety of experiences, from weekly Pilates and yoga sessions to one-off workshops and community events. Everything is designed with the same intention: to create a place where women feel comfortable, welcome, and able to take a little time for themselves.

There is still work to do, and the space is continuing to evolve, but that’s part of the journey. We’ll be sharing updates along the way as BWB The Collective grows into what it’s becoming.

For now, it’s enough to say this: it already feels like a space where something meaningful is beginning.

And we’re really glad you’re here at the start of it.
