Support Us
Kerry Women's Centre is a non profit organisation entirely run by our dedicated volunteers and as such receives no core funding. We rely on donations and grants from the local community, businesses and supporters.
We are always in need of extra support and have a few different ways in which you or your business/organisation can be of help. Just click one of the buttons below for more details and thank you for your interest in supporting the Kerry Women's Centre.
Sponsorship
Kerry Women's Centre cannot continue on our mission to empower women without the help of local business, government sponsored bodies and local organisations. Running an office and administering a centre that is growing as fast as our own, as well as building and maintaining this website was all made possible with the gracious support and sponsorship of several generous groups.
All of the training courses, activities and support we provide, we aim to provide free of charge to our members and non members alike. Obviously the more support we have the more we can do for women. If you or your organisation, business etc. can be of help in anyway possible please contact us below and we will gladly engage with you to see how best your support could be channelled.
Kerry Women's Centre is always open to new members and happy to accept membership registration of all women from all walks of life. Becoming a member allows for easy registration for our events via the website which will automatically notify you of new events and activities as they get added to the site. General feedback from our members is that they are delighted to have joined and met up with other like minded women to expand their friendship circles and learn a new skill or two to boot.
Membership is €20 for waged members or €10 for unwaged members
Upon signup you will receive a welcome email which will direct you to our safe membership payment portal where you can make payment. All new memberships are subject to approval by our administrative team who will verify your fees payment.
Please Note: If you are experiencing particular financial hardship please contact us via email at info@kerrywomenscentre.ie where we can make a decision to forego the membership fee on your behalf.
We believe our small membership fee might be the best money you have ever spent for what you will get in return so why not be part of a local dynamic women’s organisation and be included in the decision making process of the Centre going forward.
Becoming a member will give you an opportunity to:
-
Network locally and meet other women
-
Get regular updates on Kerry Women's Centre developments
-
Be made aware of courses that may be relevant to you
-
Be part of workshops and other activities
-
Have a vote at our AGM
