Coffs Harbour has an Older Women’s Network – CH OWN!
Our group was formed in response to the mature female demographic of over 20,000 aged over 45 years of age living in the area.
We welcome women of all cultures to build wellness and social connections within our community.
Coffs Harbour Older Women’s Network is led by a group of experienced older businesswomen who have a passion to help women in the community to age well.
CH OWN’s vision is to be meaningful and engaging for its members.
We invite you to phone or email us to find out more!
We acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land of the Gumbaynggirr people, where we work and live. We pay our respect to ancestors and elders, past, present, and future generations.
• Advocate for change • Empower women • Provide social connections • Assist with building resilience in a changing world • Ensure we all age well together
Coffs Harbour OWN doesn’t want older women to be left behind and be invisible.
This is the time for women to get together because women are more effective when they work collectively together.
We hold monthly meetings on the second Wednesday of the month and social dinner/lunch events on the fourth Wednesday or Thursday of the month, including exhibit at relevant events.
We would love you to join us. Please email or phone for more information about meeting times and activities.
Older women are among the hidden cohorts of Australia’s housing crisis. Too often invisible in the statistics and in the public conversation, they face homelessness and housing insecurity in growing numbers. There needs to be a concentrated effort to move the focus beyond short-term transitional accommodation toward permanent, stable housing for women who are homeless or at risk.
Coffs Harbour Older Women’s Network is working towards housing solutions for older women’s housing needs to stop them from falling into homelessness. Any donations over $2 are tax-deductible. You can donate using your credit card, or you can receive bank details so you can transfer.
Sydney The Older Women’s Network Sydney was formed in 2001, providing a supportive environment in which the social, political and friendship needs of older women are met.
OWN NSW The Older Women’s Network New South Wales (OWN NSW) was established in 2001 as the peak body for OWN Groups across NSW. We promote the rights, dignity and wellbeing of older women.
Wyong Wyong OWN endeavours to provide an opportunity for older women to voice concerns and opinions and be heard. We pass on local community news and raise awareness of worldwide women’s issues. Friendship and acceptance of women are important.
