1987 - The OWN Project launches
With the overwhelming success of the workshops, Noreen Hewett suggests they form the Older Women’s Network (OWN) Project.
A planning picnic, led by founders Noreen and Linda Adamson, is held in Victoria Park Camperdown to energise the OWN Project.
The diverse group includes trade unionists, feminists, Quakers, Catholic women and members of the Salvation Army.
History is herstory too.
Older Women’s Network NSW
The Older Women’s Network in NSW believes in a society rich in social capital, where mutual respect and trust are paramount, where diversity and debate are valued and where people and their networks have a legitimate voice.
