[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Our clubs in Northern Ireland are active in many ways.<\/p>\n

Some of our projects are long-term.<\/p>\n

The Youth Public Speaking award involves every club in running a heat in their own area followed by a Regional Final. This event encourages young women to develop their public speaking and presentation skills and has run for many years.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our Centenary tree planting also involved our whole region. Every club agreed to plant trees<\/p>\n

Some were planted in schools, some in parks and public places in memory of friends and some clubs planted a forest.<\/p>\n

Clubs regularly carry out beach cleans and litter picks in their own areas and some go Balsam bashing as well. Many are active in encouraging recycling.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our clubs work closely with Women\u2019s Aid, Migrant Help and charities for the homeless responding to needs as they arise.<\/p>\n

This year we have provided towels, prams, suitcases plus toiletries and kitchen packs as requested. Bikes have been provided to help people access education.<\/p>\n

Others work closely with their local foodbanks.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Throughout the year events are arranged to educate and raise public awareness of important issues and fund raise for specific projects. Recent events include afternoon tea, table quiz, and a breakfast where Naomi Long MLA spoke on Domestic violence legislation in the province.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Members use their practical skills to knit Trauma teddies, sew and provide sanitary products for girls in Africa and plant a sensory garden for an addiction charity.<\/p>\n

One member has been able to mentor a woman who had escaped after being trafficked and her club now supports a local safe refuge.<\/p>\n

We hope to celebrate International Women\u2019s Day together in March and Inspire inclusion.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
