WOMENS CENTER REOPENING CELEBRATION
9 April 2025
It was a beautiful Autumn day to welcome all our members, volunteers and stake holders back to the Center to celebrate our re-opening.
It was wonderful to see our members, previous governance and a lot of new faces and take a moment to acknowledge the work that has gone in by so many people to reopen the doors 3 days a week.

QUIZ NIGHT on INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY 9 March 2025
Our sisters from the Nelson Soroptimists organised an amazing quiz night to raise funds for Ovarian Cancer. The fully booked-out night was a great success, and we were delighted to come first equal and take home the Fresh Choice food vouchers, which the team promptly donated to the Centre. Thanks to the Soroptimist for organising this great fundraiser for Ovarian Cancer.
