The Woodside Network recently held its second women\u2019s day!<\/p>

80 women from across the city came together to look at the health and wellbeing of women.<\/p>

On the day, you could take part in workshops which included, soundbath, Zumba, meditation, Nutrition activity with Aberdeen Science Centre, yoga. The Scottish Women\u2019s budget was there, as well as a spirit of the women panel. The day was brought to an end with a lovely cacao ritual.<\/p>

The ages of the women ranged from 15 to 55+. The idea of holding a second day was to try and reach the women who had not managed to come along the first time. Both days were to bring women together to look at their physical, mental health and to involve them in the community. They got the opportunity to look at what services the community could offer to women.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

I personally found the day uplifting, empowering and well informed, when I left the day, not only about my own health, but also felt it was powerful seeing women supporting women, helping to design services. Women are at the heart and soul of their families and the community of Woodside.<\/p>

The women of the community are so inspiring, from the mum around the corner to the inspiring women we have working and volunteering in the community services.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

As Chair of the Woodside Network, I have a few people to thank. First of all, ACVO, for giving the network a grant to run Woodside Decides, for funding both of these days. To the Network partners who continuously support the area. Most of all, I would like to thank the inspiring women who ran our workshops and stalls, to Kimmy and Dorothey in the coffee bar, who keep us all fed and watered. A big personal and professional thank you to the supportive women who helped organise and ran the day on behalf of the Network. Kit from Printfield, Claire and Almas from Fersands, Larissa from shmu and Freya from the Network. Without you all, I would have been at a loss for what to do.<\/p>

You continue to inspire and surprise me, so thank you, you are wonderful, amazing women.<\/p>

Charlene Kilpatrick.<\/p>
