March Update
Rosa's Executive Director Dinah Cox shares what we are currently up to at Rosa.
March is a month for celebrating women. With International Women’s Day and Mother’s Day we hope that you have felt appreciated and valued and have taken the opportunity to show women in your life that you care. At Rosa we have been doing our bit to make the world a better place for women by preparing to give away our first grants. We had over 100 exciting applications on the theme of Body Image which we are short-listing ready to announce the successful projects in May.
Our Board of Trustees has also decided to celebrate and support a woman campaigner by sponsoring a Sheila McKechnie Foundation Award (visit site). I’m proud to announce The Rosa ‘Women Creating Change’ Award 2009 - Supporting women to achieve equality and justice. The Foundations awards will be launched on 1 April 2009 with applications accepted until June. The Foundation was established in 2005 to help develop campaigners tackling the root causes of injustice. Set up in memory of Dame Sheila McKechnie, an ardent and able campaigner herself, it is dedicated to helping people create positive and lasting social change. As part of our collaborative approach to equality and justice for women and girls in the UK we are sure this partnership will be exciting and fruitful.
We want to thank you for your continued support - we’ll be in touch again in summer.
