We are looking forward to Saturday next May 18th at Coolnagreina, Greystones, where we will have the launch of our strategic plan, our new visual identity, our annual business meeting AND lots of opportunities to catch up with old friends, meet new friends, and commit all of this to the Lord.
See you there!
Happy World YWCA Day!
Every year on April 24, YWCAs around the world, including YWCA Ireland, join together to celebrate being part of a global movement and to raise awareness of our goals and actions in the lives of women and girls. This year's theme is "I am a woman, I have the right. We are women, we have the power".
If you want to know more about what we do locally and nationally, we invite you to contact us!

World YWCA Day 24th April 2013 - Round the World Breakfast
Since 1947, YWCAs have come together one day of the year to affirm their involvement in a global movement of women and girls working for justice, peace, health, human dignity, freedom and care for the environment.Over time, that day has come to be known as World YWCA Day and is celebrated every year on April 24. The YWCA Round the World Breakfast has been a vital part of this day's events since 2003, serving to connect YWCAs around the world and raise awareness on our global impact on the lives of women and girls.
This year, the World YWCA invites us to continue the tradition and join the biggest, boldest breakfast in the world with the theme "I am a woman, I have the right. We are women, we have the power".
This theme encourages a focus on women's rights and the collective power of the YWCA movement to bring about change in the lives of women, young women and girls. The World YWCA Day is also an opportunity to celebrate women's leadership, which is at the core of the mission of YWCAs around the word. This year, the World YWCA will be honouring Elizabeth Palmer, a former General Secretary of the World YWCA, who will be celebrating her 100th Birthday.
To mark this special birthday, the World YWCA International Board is establishing the Elizabeth Palmer Fund in honour of her incredible leadership of the movement, which saw the World YWCA become one of the most respected women's organisations by the United Nations and become highly influential in setting global standards on the status of women.
