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.
