Women's Centre Rodney

The existing team call it “character.”

The newbies call it a health and safety concern. 😂

We’re looking for one good-condition office chair to replace our squeaky, wobbly office veteran.

If you have one looking for a new home, we’d love to hear from you.

Help the newbies upgrade.

Motherhood looks different for everyone 💛
Whether you’re navigating the early days with little ones, finding your feet as a mum, or simply looking for connection with others who get it - our weekly mum groups offer a welcoming space to chat, share and be supported.

A little winter warmth looking for a new home

A huge thank you to everyone who supported our Winter Warmer Packs - they’ve been so loved and have now found their new homes (with just a couple still waiting to be collected 💛).

The beautiful handmade quilts have also been incredibly popular and have been snapped up - but we still have a couple of these exquisite treasures looking for their new home. 🧵✨

We also have a small selection of cosy winter items available this week, including PJs, warm socks, hats, gloves, wheat bags, children’s PJs (sizes 4–8), baby knitting, and other handmade winter comforts. 🧶🧣

Our winter goodies are limited and sizes/styles vary, but if there’s something that’s the right fit for you or your family, you’re very welcome to them.

We’ll be sharing the remaining items with another local agency next week, so this is a lovely chance to find a little winter comfort while they’re here.

Open Monday–Friday, 9:30am–2:30pm ❄️

This week's line-up is all about connection, conversation and learning something new.

This week includes:

☕ Mums Life – Warkworth
☕ Coffee & Chat with Beth – Wellsford
☕ Brew & You – Snells Beach
🍝 Cook 'n' Chat – Garlic Growing & Cooking with Christine & Flo

🌱 Pest Free Conversations with Jill
🚪 Drop-in support available Monday-Friday 9:30am–2:30pm

As always, you don't need a big reason to walk through our door.

Sometimes it's support.
Sometimes it's information.
Sometimes it's a new skill.
Sometimes it's simply a cuppa and a friendly face.

Come as you are.

What a treat it was to be involved in Sue's bead class today making a beautiful bead flower bouquet - lots of concentration with definitely a bit of chatter thrown in.

Everyone was really proud of their gorgeous creation and can't wait for the next one! Sue's beading workshops are always very popular so keep an eye out for next term's one and come and join some fabulous women creating some fabulous crafts!

A lovely and busy morning at Young Mums Group today. It was wonderful to welcome some new faces along, alongside our regular mums, and to see the group continuing to grow.
There was lots of chatting, getting to know one another, and watching the babies interact and explore together. It made for a really nice morning of connection and conversation.
Young Mums Group runs every Thursday from 10am–12pm for mums aged 18–24 who are pregnant or already have little ones

Wednesday's question...

Would you rather roll meatballs or roll your R's? 🤔

Tuscan Meatballs with Deirdre | 10am–12pm

Intro to Spanish with Matilde | 1pm–2:30pm

Either way, you'll leave having learned something new, shared a few laughs, and spent time in good company.

It's not too late to register and let us know you're coming... or if you're more of a last-minute decision maker, just turn up and join us.

¡Hasta luego! (See, you're learning Spanish already 😉)

Join Janene as she shares a yummy recipe combining hot cross buns with a delicious twist on classic bread and butter pudding. Come along for good company, plenty of laughter, and enjoy cooking together in a warm, friendly space where conversation flows just as easily as the food. A lovely chance to connect, learn something new, and enjoy a tasty morning together.

Be sure to register for a delicious morning 🌺

You don't have to figure it out alone.

We meet a lot of women who think they need to have everything sorted before they ask for support.

The truth?

You don't need a crisis.
You don't need all the answers.
And you certainly don't need to carry it all by yourself.

Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is start a conversation.

If life feels a bit heavy right now, pop in, give us a call, or reach out. We're here for the wobbles, the wins, and everything in between.
