The report looks at the life-changing and life-saving support and services that women’s specialist organisations provide to disadvantaged women and their positive contribution to local communities and wider society.
It also examines the challenges women’s specialist organisations are facing in a context of less funding, more competition and increased demand, including:
- the impact of public spending cuts and other features of the funding landscape on the financial sustainability of women’s organisations;
- increased demand for women’s organisations services in local communities.
The event is targeted to women’s organisations, funders, both statutory and from civil society, policymakers, politicians and other stakeholders to highlight the extent of the problem and what needs to be changed.
