Women Only Group

The Glanymor & Tyisha based Women Only group was formed to bring women from various cultures together to learn about each other's interests and explore areas of common concern. Its aim is to provide support to women on health, training and employment issues as well as developing and sharing new and existing skills.

The group has had many achievements to date but the most memorable was participating in International Women's Day and International Families Day.

Women Only is a multicultural group with members who are Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Nepalese, Polish and Welsh.

The group gets involved in a whole range of activities. Some recent examples include sari tying workshops, samosa making demonstrations, multicultural dance workshops and aromatherapy training. Group members are also currently working towards a Foundation in Personal Development.

The Wales Equality and Diversity in Health and Social Care Research and Support Service (WEDHS) has provided the group with funding.

Women Only meet every Tuesday at the Glanymor & Tyisha Communities First Centre at 26-28 Inkerman Street at 11am.

Currently, the group is also hosting exercise classes on a Tuesday morning at Emanuel Chapel on New Dock Road, Llanelli. Carmarthenhsire Connect caught up wit the group at the end of this week's session.
