GREAT YDEAS
YWCA Adelaide is proud to offer our members opportunities for sponsorship and entrepreneurialism .
This year we were excited to announce the recipients of our Great Ydeas small grants to three amazing women recipients . Congratulations to Daniella Colicchio , Ellen McLoughlin , and Gemma Beale for their inspiring initiatives that support and empower women in South Australia :
Daniella Colicchio ’ s project , A Seat at the Table provides an early step into leadership for young women and girls by supporting them to attend public leadership events in Adelaide . Girls and young women will have the opportunity to launch their leadership and personal development journey .
Ellen McLoughlin ’ s project Essentials 4 Women SA distributes women ’ s sanitary packs and toiletry items to women experiencing homelessness or hardship . This project provides a practical approach to ensuring women are not unnecessarily prevented from participating in their community .
The Mary Lee Exchange , formed by Gemma Beale and Becci Love , is a new public forum which provides a space for women and gender diverse people to hear stories from leaders and role models in a relaxed and inspirational setting .
