A WOMEN'S support group based in Birkenhead has received a 'Eurogrant' to help them get into the Eurovision spirit.
Tomorrow’s Women (TW) is a charity led by women for women. They offer all adult women over 18 a safe, female-only environment where they can be provided with a range of tools and support to make positive lifestyle changes.
They aim to do this by reducing the personal, social, health and economic disadvantages experienced by women through working in partnership to improve access to all relevant services and community resources.
The charity have been fortunate enough to secure Eurogrant funds from Culture Liverpool so they can host some activities for the women to celebrate Eurovision 2023.
Between May 9 and 12 Tomorrow's Women will be hosting a range of activities including bunting making, singalongs and Ukrainian flower crown making.
The week of activities will culminate in a celebration during their Friday lunch club on May 12 with games, quizzes, and food.
The event is free to all women aged 18+.
Supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund, Culture Liverpool invited organisations to apply for grants of up to £2,000 to get into the Eurovision spirit by hosting events that celebrate the competition itself, the relationship with our friends in Ukraine and the wider European heritage in Liverpool.
Grants of up to £2,000 have been given to 63 community groups and grassroots organisations to help spread the Eurovision magic across the city region in the run-up to the final on May 13.
Claire McColgan, director of Culture Liverpool, said: "We were inundated with so many amazing ideas, making it really difficult for us to decide which projects to take forward.
"We never fail to be impressed by the enthusiasm and creativity of community groups and grassroots organisations in Liverpool City Region and once again they have outdone themselves.
"I think the successful projects reflect a good cross-section of the region.
"The chosen projects highlight different cultures, religious beliefs, food and languages. There truly is something for everyone."
