The Girls Who Gather
A Canberra community for women who love coffee, movement, books, and meaningful connection
Meet the founder
Hi, I'm Alison! 👋
I'm a 28-year-old originally from Sydney will be moving to Canberra.
I have a love for good coffee, walking, running, great books, and meeting new people. I’ve always been passionate about creating spaces where people feel welcome, supported, and connected.
I will be starting the Girls Who Gather Club with one simple goal: to make it easier for women to meet new people and build genuine friendships. As adults, making friends isn't always easy, so I wanted to create a community where showing up is enough. No pressure, no expectations!
When I'm not organising events, you'll usually find me training for my next run, exploring local cafés, reading, or spending time with my Cavoodle, Barney, who would happily join every coffee catch-up if he could!
I'm so glad you're here, and I can't wait to meet you at a future gathering. 🤍
About the club
Girls Who Gather started as a simple idea and has grown into a space for connection, friendship and community. Created for women (18+), this community is all about bringing women together through the simple things — good coffee, movement, great books and genuine conversation. In a world where making new friends as an adult can sometimes feel difficult, I wanted to create a welcoming space where women can meet new people, connect and build meaningful friendships.
Each week, we’ll gather for coffee and a chat at a local café, head out for a walk or run, or get together for book club. When it comes to our walks and runs, there’s no pressure to be the fastest or fittest — you can choose what feels comfortable for you, with one group for running/jogging and another for walking. There’s also no pressure to be the biggest reader or the most outgoing person in the room. Just come as you are.
Whether you’ve recently moved to Canberra, you’re looking to meet like-minded women, you’re hoping to make new friends, or you simply want to try something new, Girls Who Gather is a place where you’re always welcome.
Here’s to good coffee, new friendships, shared adventures and building a community where everyone belongs.
🎀 Gather With Us 🎀
Our gatherings will change from week to week, but you can expect a mix of coffee, movement, books, creativity, exploring & good conversation.
☕ Coffee & Catch-Ups
Because no girls' gathering is complete without coffee. Join us for casual café catch-ups, brunches and conversations with new faces.
🏃♀️ Runs & Walks
Walking and run groups , there'll be opportunities to get moving together — at your own pace.
📚 Book Club
For the girls who always have a book in their bag. Our book gatherings are a chance to chat about what we're reading, swap recommendations and discover our next favourite read.
💬 Non judgmental
Not every gathering needs an activity. Sometimes it's simply about sitting down, having a coffee and meeting people you might not otherwise have crossed paths with.
Come as you are. Bring your curiosity, your favourite coffee order and maybe a friend — or come solo and meet some new ones.
