Inner City Womens Group
Over the past two years, there have been many changes in this group, which is funded by FAS and supported by CDVEC Originally located in a Portacabin behind St.Catherine's Church, Meath Street, in 2003, the group moved to new premises in the old convent in Goldenbridge, Inchicore. In addition, several women joined the group from Labre Park site in Ballyfermot. The group is now operating at full capacity with 16 participants on the programme.

With the use of new premises in Great Strand Street, the Women’s Education Group is now fully integrated in Exchange House, and has brightened up the premises with the products of their FETAC horticultural module.
The Modules competed to date include Child Care, Communications and Computer Literacy, all accredited by FETAC. A six-week programme was set up to build on last year’s introductory health programme.

In tandem with stronger links being forged at local community level, the group has also broadened out its links with other Traveller groups at national level, including the. National Traveller Women’s Forum (NTWF). Along with increased engagement with other Traveller groups in the Dublin area, the women in the group are beginning to engage actively with the Traveller community at local and national level which is a vital part of their capacity development in terms of participating more fully in their own community as well as linking in with local mainstream community activities.
