Irish Women's Support Group

Thursdays | 10:30am – 12:30pm

The Irish Women’s Group meets on Thursdays, providing a regular space for connection, conversation and shared learning.

The group offers an opportunity for women to come together to share experiences, ideas and information. Discussions often include everyday life, community issues and wider social and political topics, both local and global. Members also exchange practical information and support, including reflections on common challenges such as scams, marketing calls and navigating services.

Cultural exploration forms part of the group’s activities, including listening to and discussing Irish music and artists, and reflecting on developments in Irish cultural performance and identity. These shared interests help to deepen understanding and celebrate cultural heritage.

Occasionally, the group also takes part in singing practice in preparation for the Centre’s end-of-year celebration, contributing to wider activities across the Centre.

The group plays an important role in reducing isolation and strengthening connections between women across different support groups and activities at the Centre. Regular participation helps foster a sense of community and shared support.

West Hampstead Women’s Centre is grateful for the support of the Irish Government Emigrant Support Programme, which helps make this work possible.
