‘The Doozy’: London’s ultimate ladies’ lunch

9 Views

On Saturday, 8 November 2025, London will play host to a uniquely vibrant, purpose-driven celebration – The Doozy – at the De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms in Covent Garden.

Described as “far from your average ladies’ lunch”, the event will kick off at 12:00 with welcome drinks in The Drawing Room, followed by an afternoon in The Edinburgh Suite.

Guests can expect a curated experience that blends entertainment, luxury, and networking with fine food, an auction, live music, dancing – and some exciting surprises still under wraps.

At its core, The Doozy is a celebration of dynamic women – those who work hard, play harder, and believe in giving back.

And it’s all in aid of a powerful cause: The Good Work Foundation, a non-profit which runs digital learning centres in rural South Africa, with a focus on education, digital skills, and job training for both children and adults.

A family affair with a purpose

Founded by South Africa-born sisters Justine and Courtney Healey and their cousin Lorena Duguid (born in Scotland, but with South African roots), the trio – all currently based in the United Kingdom and working in the tech space – wanted to do something good for South Africa, while also providing an opportunity for women to get dressed up, meet other interesting women and let their hair down.

They decided, London needed a Doozy!

“We wanted to do something meaningful for South Africa while creating a space where women can truly enjoy themselves, connect, and give back,” said co-founder Justine Healey.
