Greenway Women’s Group Survey

Calling all Greenway service users!!!

We are sure that many of you are aware of the extreme pressure that community organisations are under at this time due to funding cuts.

We at Greenway Women’s Centre have been serving you in our community for almost four decades and we are extremely concerned about the impact that the reduction or loss of our services would have on you and your families.

We are asking that you take a few minutes to complete our short survey, which can be accessed from the link below, in order for us to gauge the level of need for support required in our community.

This is an opportunity for all our service users, past and present, to highlight the importance of the services available at Greenway.

Live Life Covid Aware

At Greenway Women’s Centre we provide a wide range of services for different groups of all ages and there may be service users, staff or volunteers within the Centre who are particularly vulnerable to infection so we ask everyone attending Greenway Women’s Centre to play their part in helping to minimise the risk of spreading infection within our community. By working together we can help to keep everyone as safe as possible.

Thank you for your continued support.
