Woy Woy CWA president Margy Ure was more than happy to present Barbara Galvin from Elsie’s Project with a bunch of beautiful and lovingly made quilts at a recent craft and chat meeting.
Four branch members have made the patchwork quilts since the 2021 opening of Gosford Hospital’s A5 Ward, the Central Coast’s first dedicated palliative care unit, and consider it an honour and privilege to keep making them for patients and their families.
“We have made many, many quilts for Elsie’s from the very beginning,” Woy Woy CWA publicity officer Jane Bowtell said.
Woy Woy CWA meets every Wednesday for craft and chat and a business meeting on the fourth Wednesday of the month.
Each meeting starts around 9am and goes until noon.
There are 60 members and the branch is very active in the community supporting programs such as the breakfast club at Woy Woy Public School, Words on the Waves Writers’ Festival Children’s Ripples program and hosting the BreastScreen bus over the past six years.
They also support a local food drive once a month with donations and the annual TWIST festival.
The branch’s popular Facebook Recipe of the Week which offers simple, economical and nostalgic recipes, is still incredibly popular after four years of showcasing recipes, started during the COVID lockdowns.
The CWA is Australia’s largest women’s organisation with the aim of improving conditions for country women and children, lobby for change, and a network dedicated to supporting local communities.
