Fifteen years ago the Women’s Centre opened its doors with the help of 74 volunteers from the community. Today, more than 500 extraordinary people donate their time, skills, and hearts to support the Women’s Centre’s work. Volunteers enable more than 160 women to receive support each and every day at the Women’s Centre.
At our 15th Anniversary and Volunteer Appreciation Celebration on November 22, guests participated in an icebreaker activity. One of the questions asked: ‘What do you love the most about the Women’s Centre?’ Here are some of the top responses people gave.
