A huge thank you to all of the members who have made Member’s Week 2026 happen!

This week, we handed over some of Kyra’s timetable to our members, giving them the chance to plan and lead their own sessions for other women at Kyra.

We’ve had denim bag making, mindful nature watercolours, found poetry collaging, air dry clay, lavender bag sewing and slow stitching for wellbeing; all led by members sharing their own skills and interests.

Member’s Week is a chance for members to try something different, build confidence in leading a session, and share skills and hobbies with other women. It’s also been a great opportunity for everyone else to have a go at activities they might not otherwise have tried!

A massive thank you to everyone who put themselves forward to run something, and to all the members who came along and got involved.

Here are a few photos from the lovely Mindful Nature Watercolours session earlier this week!

Kyra members recently had the opportunity to take part in a special artist-led textiles workshop at York Art Gallery, in partnership with York Museum Trust.

Together, members began creating a collaborative textile artwork that will eventually be displayed as part of an upcoming exhibition at the Gallery.

Guided by professional artists, everyone had the chance to experiment with different techniques, get creative, and contribute to a shared piece of art.

A huge thank you to York Museums Trust and all the brilliant artists for such a welcoming and inspiring session! We can't wait to see the finished artwork on display!

A huge THANK YOU to everyone involved in Aviva's Wellbeing Tournament 2026! 💙

We're absolutely delighted to share that this year's tournament raised an incredible £11,903 for Kyra, with the same fantastic amount also raised for our friends at Menfulness!

Thank you to everyone at Aviva for organising such a brilliant event, to everyone who took part, donated, cheered from the sidelines, and helped make the day such a success. Your generosity will help us continue supporting women across York to improve their wellbeing, build confidence, and make positive changes in their lives.

We're incredibly grateful for our partnership with Aviva and for their continued support of Kyra. It was wonderful to spend the day together, meet so many people, and celebrate such an amazing fundraising achievement (and yes... we're very proud of the trophy too!)

Thank you again for your incredible support, it really does make a difference. 💙

Last week, Kyra's LGBTQ+ Group turned one!

To celebrate, we did what the group does best: got together, had a chat, and shared some cake.

Over the past 12 months, the group has become a space where LGBTQ+ women and non-binary people can meet others, make friends, get creative, share experiences, and simply be themselves. We've made fidget toys, knitted, coloured, visited Quiet Pride, marched at York Pride, started a q***r bookshelf, and drunk a truly impressive amount of tea.

At a time when many LGBTQ+ people are feeling anxious, uncertain, or under pressure, spaces like this are important. Everyone deserves somewhere they can feel welcome, supported, and understood without having to explain who they are.

A huge thank you to everyone who has come along over the past year and helped make the group what it is. We're very glad you're here.
