We undertake a variety of initiatives to build links around the globe, supporting women and girls in diverse ways linking to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 4 (quality education), 5 (gender equality), 10 (reducing inequalities) and 17 (partnerships for the goals):
- ‘Convoy to Syria and Yemen’ Appeal – regularly contributing basic necessities for refugees, working with Sister Tama Mercadi of BCP Shout Out
- Support of local International Communities (for example, Refugee Update Group and the International Care Network) in a variety of ways- attending meetings, supporting initiatives, going to lunches and donating goods
- ‘Run Bournemouth’ – members and friends raise funds annually for various charities and the club funds
- We previously ran a special charity called Cementing Futures that provided primary education for children living in the slums of Dhaka, who would otherwise receive no education, enabling more than 200 children to complete primary school
- Toilet Twinning: we achieved 80 twinned toilets for our 80th anniversary in 2018
We enable and empower our partners to carry out these projects by raising awareness and funds.
