WINGS WOMEN’S GROUP

established in January 2009 to help women achieve their potential and access a variety of projects and activities including cookery classes, healthy eating and confidence building.

Hamida Patel  - Chair said “Jabien was very efficient as she had all the paperwork ready for me to complete and helped us to identify gaps in our governance. She was very professional and told us about things that we did not even know about and could sort out straightaway. She arranged a meeting with Donna Carney for a full governance check which helped us; by suggesting different policies and procedures that we needed such as Child protection, Vulnerable Adults and Health and Safety.  She looked at our constitution and advised on how to apply for charity registration.  I took the information to the board and we made the changes needed to help us plan for the future.  Jabien has also given advice on how to apply for funding.  The service has been absolutely brilliant.  Because we are not from the voluntary sector BME Pact has educated and made us stronger and shown us how to move forward. Wings Women’s Group has been able to achieve its potential through the help of Lancashire BME Pact.”
