International Women's Day in aid of NE Youth
Who doesn't love pizza? Add in a group of women who love to party, a live performance from Channy.... & a bit of fundraising and you have the recipe for an amazing night.
NE Youth are celebrating their 90th anniversary this year so the International Women's Day Supper Club stepped things up and in doing so raised over £2000!!
There was of course a serious side to the event- which included highlighting some of the issues that women and girls ( WAGs) are facing here in the North East. NE Youth run programmes solely for girls, the 1-2-1 sessions help them work on their confidence, well being and mental health.
Channy- North East singer song writer performed a set which had everyone up singing and dancing the night away.
Dee Macdonald from NE Youth commented:
' This is the ninth year we've put on an event to celebrate International Women's Day. Its so important to highlight the incredible work NE Youth is doing in our region whilst having a party! What a fabulous night of women supporting women! Big thanks to David Gray Solicitors who have sponsored our events from day one and to Channy- what a voice she has... It just gets better and better!'
The IWD event was held at The Wood Oven in Wylam
