As part of the recent International Women’s Day celebrations across the world, Helen Goodman MP hosted a well-attended Women’s Conference in Bishop Auckland Town Hall.
Helen said, “Today was a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the tremendous progress that local and national women’s organisations have made over the past 100 years. I was delighted to be joined by speakers from Girl Guiding, Wear Valley Women’s Aid and the Women’s Institute. It was fascinating to hear about their campaigns on a range of issues including violence against women, climate change, and young women in society.”
There were also workshops run by Business Link, 2D and Wear Valley Women’s Aid providing information on local services, business advice and support and local volunteering opportunities.
