We are finally coming out of lockdown (hopefully the last) and summer is on the horizon, stores, restaurants, bar and Women’s Centre’s are opening and life as we know it is starting to have a semblance of normality about it. Women and children are starting to filter through the doors again and we are loving it, the centre felt cold and lifeless without them, these women are the beating hearts of our organisations and we value them.
Resilience is a mark of the strength of women, we have endured and conquered everything that lockdown threw at us and still want to engage in courses, focus groups and challenge opinions. We have given our voices to several online consultations throughout this year and we know there is still plenty of work to done to achieve women’s equality.
