Women and girls will benefit from community, education and mentoring opportunities during 2022 NSW Women’s Week thanks to a $100,000 NSW Government grants program.
Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh encourages local councils and not-for-profits to apply for a share of the funding to host events 7-13 March 2022.
“This week is about recognising women on the Coffs Coast and celebrating their diverse contributions,” Mr Singh said.
“We are looking for events that not only bring women and girls together in a COVID-safe setting but also provide practical support to help women across our region.”
Events should support at least one of the key priorities of the NSW Women’s Strategy 2018-22:
- improving women’s financial wellbeing and security;
- encouraging a holistic approach to health and wellbeing;
- helping women to build confidence and celebrate their achievements.
“Women from all walks of life will be celebrated during NSW Women’s Week including women living in our regional and rural communities, Aboriginal women and women from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds,” said Minister for Women Bronnie Taylor.
