ASSOCIATED COUNTRY WOMEN OF THE WORLD

ACWW Connects and Supports Women and Communities Worldwide

SUPPORT ACWW

ACWW is completely reliant on public support - without this, we could not deliver our development programmes, give women a voice at the UN and other international levels, or continue facilitating women-to-women empowerment and engagement.

 

You can support ACWW in many different ways - the easiest two are to become an Individual Member, and to hold a fundraising event in your  community.

 

By organising and taking part in fundraising events and activities, you play a vital role in keeping ACWW alive. Your help is really important;

and it doesn’t need to be too ambitious, difficult or challenging.

WAYS TO HELP

As well as becoming a member, there are lots of ways that you can get involved with supporting ACWW.

 

Why not organise an event, or take part in one of the annual Women Walk the World events on 29 April?

 

Simple ideas are often the easiest and most effective. Why not try some of these activities?

 

• Tea / Coffee mornings
• Sell or auction some homemade preserves, jams, cakes or craft items are always popular!
• Bring and Buy sale at your local church or
• community hall
• Ask your local school to hold an ‘Own Clothes’ or ‘Non-Uniform’ day in support of ACWW
• Ask your local university to nominate ACWW for their Charity Week, Rag Week or Freshers Week
• Mystery Auction - keep the prizes a surprise
• Encourage your friends to become Individual Members of ACWW

 

If you feel like something a little more adventurous, you could consider...

 

• Quiz Night (see if your local pub or youth club will host it for you)
• Auction of Promises - everyone pledges to do something positive in the local community, and local businesses can contribute too!
• Fashion Show - see if a local department store, boutique or fashion shop will help
• Organise a raffle and collect a range of fabulous prizes
• Distance events - a sponsored Walk, Swim, Run, communal exercise  session, wheelchair laps or race!

 

WOMEN WALK THE WORLD

Every year in April, ladies from all over the globe come together for a very special event - Women Walk the World.  This encourages everyone to get out and spread the word of ACWW’s good work, walking in your local area with flyers and information and, of course it, provides a fantastic social activity too.  Children, dogs and even husbands can be included!
