Connswater Womens Group was established in August 2009.
A few local women were interested in the idea of getting the group started up in the area so we advertised to local women to come along and join up.
The response was great and at the minute we have 30 strong members.
Since we have started up we have achieved alot of things that probably wouldnt of happened only for us women.
We have taken part in a lot of local fund raising, held different events for the children of the area and have all enroled in some courses to better ourselves and our lives.
Self esteem and lack of confidence plays a big part in all our lives and over the past 8 months these changes have happened.
We are currently working along side with Ardcarn Womens Group and the bond that we have formed with them is brilliant.
We want to change the womens lives in and around our community bring them all together to a happy enviroment and take on the tasks that they wish to do.
Our drive and determination will improve the lives of many women in the area, through projects and events, the group will help alleviate the sense of isolation felt by women in our community.
The group sits on a Thursday Night 7.00pm - 9.00pm in Connswater Community Centre, everyone is welcome and will enjoy the laughs and fun of the group.
The womens group is a great night out for all the women from the area. We have weekly arts and crafts, bingo, book sales, general chit chat, next week we have a course starting on smoking and your heart.. we have also a residential coming up along with swimming night and another wii night.Why not come along join in the fun....
