CWA Young Evening Branch

CWA Young Evening Branch The CWA was formed out of desperate need. The Association was built by women who had to watch helplessly as their children died from minor illnesses.

The Country Women's Association Young Evening Branch was formed to fill a gap in the community for working women and stay at home mums to meet up for a coffee and a chat, learn a new craft or even join in helping out the local community Country women were fighting isolation, and an appalling lack of health facilities and the constraints of a male dominated society. These women realised they had no

where to turn but to themselves - and the result was staggering. Within a year, the Association was a unified, resourceful group that was going from strength to strength. The members worked tirelessly to set up baby health care centres, fund bush nurses, build and staff maternity wards, hospitals, schools, rest homes, seaside and mountain holiday cottages - and much more. At the same time they continued to run homes in which they were often mother, nurse, teacher and general hand. The women of the CWA, while believing deeply that their role in the family is vitally important, have been initiators, fighters and lobbyists. They have made localities into communities by providing social activities and educational, recreational and medical facilities.
