Both the Community and Business Women’s Network (CWBN) and the Because We Care Boutique are projects of the Iris Foundation which works primarily on the Central Coast to help reduce the risk of suicide through programs and partnerships to enhance community connectedness and wellbeing.
The CWBN started in 2018 with the straightforward purpose to connect women both socially and professionally.
Event co-ordinator, Sharyn Becker, said that by bringing women together it created opportunities for growth, resilience and inspiration at business, community and personal levels.
“CWBN has expanded rapidly to include close to 300 active members,” she said.
“There’s a mix of networking events, business showcases and professional development opportunities.
“And every year we host the Trivia Night to raise funds to support the Iris Foundation.”
Becker said Because We Care Boutique was the only service of its kind on the Central Coast and had been in operation for three years.
It’s a referral only service to support any woman overcoming adversity and offers a safe and supportive space with one-on-one attention and respect.
“It’s run by dedicated volunteer stylists who offer ideas, support, appropriate and smart attire prior to attending any important meeting or appointment, such as a work interview or a court appearance,” she said.
“The Boutique experience can also include small group workshops to support women to feel included, confident and prepared.”
Tickets for the two fundraising events can be purchased online at cbwn.org.au
