"Women’s groups and organisations in Mayoare thriving in so many of our communities, in both urban and rural settings and it is important that are supported.

"They have a become a welcoming hub within communities and an outlet for the women, both young and older, to socialise and upskill.”

“The community spirit displayed in these women’s groups and organisations is admirable. These groups also help to tackle social isolation and provide a space for people to come together and build friendships."
