Making a difference:
At CCWO our efforts are directed into making a difference to people’s lives, overcoming barriers, minimizing social exclusion and providing services and activities that meet the needs of our members and users.
Our aims are to:
• Support clients to make informed choices, enable and encourage active independent lives.
• Reduce isolation of vulnerable Cypriot/Greek women and their families and promote well-being.
• Support users to participate in their wider community and increase involvement in other community groups and activities.
• Be a focal point for increasing pride, maintaining and developing identity for current and future generations.
• To ensure sustainability in the organisation.
CCWO operates an ‘open door’ policy and provides a daily drop in service for advice and advocacy sessions. The Centre is also a safe and friendly meeting place for local Cypriot women where support, recreation and refreshments are always on offer.
We provide a rich variety of activities to reflect the needs and interests of local first generation Cypriot women, including talks, day trips, workshops, mobility classes, religious festivals and ample opportunities for participation in events in the wider community.
