International Women's Day 2024

Friday 8^th March celebrates International Women’s Day
Working across the third sector as its TSI we see women working hard to make an impact in their communities. Today we would like to highlight just a few of our members that are both led by and support women. This is just a snapshot of the dedication to change and equality seen in Renfrewshire and if you’d like to find more groups that #InspireInclusion please search our member directory
