What a Brilliant Celebration of International Women’s Day
What a Great Year for Women4Reources
We had such a good year at Women4Resources!
Our Volunteering 4 Skills project enabled us to work with women who might otherwise not have had the opportunity to be part of a grassroots charity supporting initiatives in Wales and Africa. GWEN, the Grassroots Women’s Entrepreneur Network was set up with the support from Santander who funded a worker. We had training and information sessions, mentoring training, a pop-up-shop for International Women’s Day in March. SWANFRICA, the Swansea Bay network of small charities working with partners in Africa really pulled together for our latest event, the Green Fayre organised by the Environment Centre which took place at the National Waterfront Museum. Here’s to realizing many more of our hopes and wishes for Women and Girls all over the world!
Fun Palaces Campaign
There will be a weekend of events on October 7 and 8, with the National Waterfront Museum hosting one in Swansea. It is all about art, science and fun, and everyone can take part in it.
Check out the website and all will become clear.

Sustainable Swansea Photo Competition
This photograph was taken at the Vetch Field Site in the centre of Swansea, and it shows how exotic ordinary courgette plants can look. The Community Gardens and the open space at the site of the former Vetch Football Grounds are a great resource for anybody, but particularly women and children, who live in the Sandfields area. In the summer it is busy with children enjoying themselves on the play equipment or playing ball games. It is also a safe place to meet and sit in the sun with other women for a chat.
A day in the Office
We are in today!
It is great sharing a building with other organisations from artists, such as Owen Griffiths to Vikki Butler from Community Action in Research and Policy. Our desk is in the same office as the two workers from the Swansea Environmental Forum, and we know a lot more about green spaces in the Swansea area as a result.
