Women of Newport - since 2019

Women of Newport is a vibrant, inclusive community that empowers and connects women across the Newport area. We believe in the power of shared stories, strong partnerships, and celebrating the achievements of women from all walks of life.

We proudly stand for equity, champion diversity, and support those facing exclusion or discrimination—welcoming everyone, without judgment. From LGBTQ+ individuals to refugees, from women experiencing homelessness to those simply seeking connection—we’re here to listen, uplift, and stand alongside you.

Through our work we aim to spark positive change and show that Newport is stronger when everyone feels seen, heard and valued.

Prince William Visits Newport to Launch Landmark Report on Women’s Homelessness — A Women of Newport Collaboration with Homewards. 

We’re proud to be working with HomewardsUK since 2024, to help prevent and end homelessness for women in Newport. 

In November 2024, Women of Newport prepared a photography exhibition celebrating 6 local women who have recovered from homelessness—women whose stories are meant to inspire and offer hope to others going through similar experiences. Since the exhibition these women are actively engaged to make a difference.

Latest News!

The Women of Newport photography exhibition, celebrating women who have recovered from homelessness, is currently on display at The Hive Hub.

TESTIMONIALS

Pamela Glover, Athlete

"What a wonderful project Kamila has created. It celebrates Newport’s women and connects them from all backgrounds, ages, skill-sets, talents and interests. This project is a great unifier, empowering, supporting and giving opportunities that an individual may not have discovered. I congratulate Kamila on the creation of “Women of Newport” and her team for the continuing development and success. I wish Kamila and her team best wishes for the future."

Lily Hayden, Writer

"As a woman from Newport, it’s been inspirational to see Women of Newport flourish - from the initial concept of showcasing the empowered and diverse women in the area to creating long lasting networks and launching community initiatives supporting people from a wide range of backgrounds. The team have achieved so much in just a few years for the people of Newport through arts, charitable giving, community hubs and projects, and I’m so excited to see their vision for the future coming to life."

Stacey Daly, Actress

"The saying goes that ‘when women support each other, incredible things happen’. For me, that is what ‘Women of Newport is about’. It is about inclusion, creativity and support and since becoming a part of this group I have felt all of those things in abundance."

Jayne Bryant, Member of the Senedd for Newport West

"Women of Newport have built up a fantastic reputation over the last few years. Their objective of showcasing, supporting, and connecting the women of this city is such an important and noble one and it is so pleasing to see them go from strength to strength. Their commitment to the community is outstanding, they are a hub for everyone, constantly seeking to promote and support causes across the city. Their work in particular in helping those in need in Ukraine, in rallying and orchestrating donations for those impacted by the horrific events was truly inspiring. They are  a great example of what community focus should look like in Wales."
