Bristol Women's Voice
Wednesday 17th January 2024
Our after lunch speakers this Wednesday were Troy Tanska and Alice Hulme of the Bristol Women's Voice. They gave a presentation which every man who has women and/or girls in his family would sympathise with and wish them every success with their mission.
"We are Bristol Women’s Voice (BWV), a charity created by Bristol women in 2016. It came about after a large-scale, council-funded consultation in 2013 where women consistently said they didn’t feel heard in decision-making. We now have more than 4,000 members and subscribers who help shape our strategic plan and direction.
Together we take action to achieve our mission, overseen by our committed board of trustees. Day-to-day, our director and a small part-time team run things, with the help of volunteers and associates."
