We celebrated International Women's Day on March 8th with great enthusiasm by organising a small event at Station Street exclusively for women. The event was specifically designed for women who use our services, and we had 16 women attend the event. We offered a variety of activities such as soft drinks and biscuits, facilitated craft sessions, a group led by a facilitator, and yoga. The women were thrilled to participate in the event and had a great time.
The session was a great success, and the participants appreciated the efforts we put into organising it. They commented that it "exceeded their expectations" and that there were "so many positives" of attending. The craft sessions were particularly enjoyed by the participants, and the yoga session helped them relax and unwind.
We want to continue the momentum and plan to start a weekly women's group in the coming months. The group work team is excited to organise more activities and provide a safe space for women to come together and share their experiences. We believe that this will help empower women and build a strong sense of community among them.
