Women’s Spirit Project
Mr EDBROOKE (Frankston) (19:08): (1977) My adjournment matter is for the Minister for Women. The action I seek is for the minister to meet with an incredible local group, the Women’s Spirit Project. The Women’s Spirit Project aims to empower women who are doing it tough to have the courage and determination to make change in their own lives. This group of enthusiastic and motivated women from Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula brings together their wealth of experience in all aspects of business, community, education, fitness and health to volunteer their time and services for other women. Participation in the programs offered by the Women’s Spirit Project aims to help women increase self-esteem, confidence and resilience; improve health, fitness and wellbeing; gain greater knowledge of how to better manage and cope with life; build better relationships and connections to the community; and experience a sense of purpose and direction, with clearer goals to work towards in all areas of their lives.
This Sunday of course we will celebrate International Women’s Day, and I invite the Minister for Women to Frankston to meet with the Women’s Spirit Project to see their program firsthand and to see the positive impact of such a brilliant project and what it does for our community.
