Catherine House - Our Voices: Newsletter March 2023

juley's poem

One of our clients presented this beautifully coloured card to one of our workers, Carol. She accompanied it with this poem that is incredibly insightful:

"To Carol, pictures in Colours fade too! A sandcastle gets smashed by waves It's not forever I'm a distant girl Writing myself every day The ink that stains Will fade off every page Love letters wither away Things don't last They break People aren't forever Eventually their presence fades That's why we take pictures To help remind us of those blank faces Those memories that took place."

International Women’s Day

We held our annual event in our Women’s Centre, listening to inspirational stories from the women we support, and enjoyed two stunning performances from the Catherine House music group. For a few of the women it was their first time performing and they all did such a wonderful job! This year three clients interviewed women from the community about their lives and what International Women’s Day means for them. It really was such a beautiful morning recognising and celebrating the achievements of women. International Women’s Day at Catherine House is always a very special occasion, celebrated with staff, clients and supporters.
