“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.”
