Women's Wellbeing
In May 2026, Multicultural Collective received a Tawa Community Grant to run four workshops supporting the wellbeing of multicultural women in Tawa. The workshops are a welcoming space for women from different cultures, especially newcomers, to meet others, build a support network and feel at home in the community. The project is in partnership with the Migrant Women's Social Group.
Together, we’ll focus on:
- Making friends and reducing isolation.
- Feeling connected and part of the community.
- Building job-seeking skills and confidence for work.
What we hope to achieve
- More job interviews for participants.
- Stronger profiles on job websites.
- New friendships and meetups between participants.
- Women volunteering for local initiatives.
- More confidence with English.
Accessibility in mind
We book wheelchair-accessible venues and provide screen reader friendly material and a support volunteer so women with disabilities can take part fully.Events and related content
