In May 2025, we held a community consultation to listen, learn, and understand what local women care most about. The response was powerful and clear: when women come together, real change is possible.

From across the Bega Valley, women shared their lived experience, insights, and hopes for the future. What emerged wasn’t just a list of issues—it was a roadmap for action. Together, we identified six key areas where collective giving and leadership could make the deepest impact:

💛 Supporting Young People

🌿 Mental Health and Wellbeing

🏠 Housing and Homelessness

👩‍🦰 Women & Children’s Needs

🌏 Climate, Sustainability and Food Security

🫶 Community Connection and Belonging

These aren’t just challenges. They’re opportunities—spaces where women’s leadership, generosity, and collective power can shape a stronger, fairer future.

As we build the Bega Valley Women’s Giving Circle, these focus areas will help guide how we give, who we support, and where our voices are needed most.
