Bath Women's Fund Potluck Picnic celebrating our first five years of giving

Join members of Bath Women's Fund for a potluck picnic at The Bath Abbey Learning Centre to celebrate our first five years of giving grants of over £100,000.

We are honoured to be joined by some of our grantees from the first five years and look forward to hearing from:

• Ruth Keily from Mentoring Plus
• Lorri Weaving and Sarah Douglas from SARSAS
• Jason Pegg from the Black Families Education Support Group
• Cheryl Sharp from Youth Connect South West

Bath Women's Fund member Yvonne Bignall will host a Q&A with each organisation to learn about the impact of our support, current priorities for support and how we can get involved more.

We will also have the chance to see behind the scenes at the Discovery Centre, a key part of Bath Abbey's Footprint project.

Please bring a bottle or a plate of whatever you would like to share - savoury or sweet, but you are welcome to bring your own food if you prefer not to eat from shared dishes.

Members will have the opportunity to cast final votes and we will announce the theme for the grant-making programme for Bath Women's Fund in 2025. If you're interested in joining Bath Women's Fund to be part of choosing the new theme and the full grant-making process, please visit our website

We look forward to welcoming you all!
