FWIN was established in 1994 by Derry City Council who
recognized that women were working away in their local
communities however there was no cross over or engagement
between or across the divide and thus the network was
established to bring women together to build relationships
and begin the road to reconciliation.
The focus of the charity's work is to provide a supportive place
for women and women's groups to meet from all the different
neighborhoods, and venues over Derry/Londonderry.
Such gatherings have provided opportunities for women to
discuss health issues, educational matters and politics.
Women are also given the platform to try new ideas, make
new contacts and friends and to offer and exchange
information.

Chairperson's Report
I'm delighted to present FWIN'S 30th AGM Report. As you
are all aware, FWIN celebrated their 30th birthday in
March with an amazing conference attended by over 200
women in the Guildhall.
FWIN is growing from strength to strength in numbers, we
have over 1000 online members as well as 150 postal
members.
One of the most challenging aspects is funding and FWIN
are f inding it extremely difficult to attract funding for
those Connect programmes, for example, the Summer
Splash Programme and this is one that women miss the
most. We will endeavour to try and secure funding to
continue this in the future.
FWIN also has some new and exciting programmes
scheduled to begin in September, which will be
advertised in the forthcoming months.
FWIN would like to thank all our members for their support
throughout the year but I'm sure you will agree with my
appreciation with the hard work that the staff and board
continue to carry out in order to support and deliver
programmes and projects for local women in the north
west area.
