International Women’s Day special event – Securing the future of women’s organisations

This International Women’s Day, Women’s Resource Centre are focusing on how to secure the future of women’s organisations in an increasingly challenging funding landscape. With only 2% of UK voluntary sector funding allocated to women’s organisations, bold structural change is urgently needed.
