A club by women for women, where everyone is heard.
We meet regularly in the evening at Stockton library. We welcome guest speakers on a variety of subjects that predominantly affect women and girls. These range from health and education to local charities and international projects.
We also have social events and regular coffee mornings where we meet informally to chat.

We are a group of like-minded ladies with a friendly disposition. Some of our members are retired. Some still work and some volunteer for local charities. We are all from a professional working environment and from a variety of professions.
Our evening meetings are generally held in Stockton library. We meet each month excluding August and December. The meetings are on the second Tuesday in the month and are held from 18.45 to 21.00. We also meet socially several times a year, either for coffee or for a meal.
The programme is varied. We may have a speaker from a charity that we support or are interested in helping. We may have something of local interest. We may have a talk from a club member or we may simply have a discussion amongst ourselves.
The club was formed in 1957. Over the years we have supported many different local charities. We have sponsored education for girls in India and Africa. We have lobbied and raised awareness for many different causes affecting women.
Local charities that we support include the food bank, the baby bank, A Way Out, Purple Rose, the women’s refuge and Teesside Dementia Link services. For several years we have provided new start bags to the local police for victims of trafficking. We have also raised awareness of the safety of women at railway stations. We campaign each year for the elimination of violence against women.
