Governance

We believe that governance is vital to the success of any organisation, but in particular to charitable organisations like ours.

Our governance processes

DIWC is a registered Charity (SC014949) and a Company Limited by Guarantee (268081). We are governed by a Board of Trustees who are responsible for the overall direction, effectiveness, supervision and accountability of our organisation.

Our good governance processes include compliance with law and regulation, ensuring that our organisation is well run and efficient. We also endeavour to identify and deal with problems early, and document learning for future challenges.

We continuously strive to uphold our reputation and integrity, by making a difference to the community we serve through the objectives for our charity.

DIWC's strategic aims are:

Engagement

BME women in Dundee are more socially involved in society

Education

Women become better educated through access to formal and informal learning opportunities

Self-empowerment

Women feel in control of their own lives

Self-sustaining

DIWC is a financially stable and enterprising organisation

DIWC is recognised as a learning organisation

Board of Directors

Our Board of Trustees meets every month. Our board meetings are about agreeing strategies to carry out our purpose effectively, accounting for our performance and ensuring we operate within the law.

Each board member volunteers their time to support the centre and help us make DIWC the best it can be.

IMPORTANT UPDATE FROM DIWC

Dundee International Women’s Centre remains temporarily closed due to ongoing concerns regarding the safety of the roof within our building at Manhattan Works.

We would like to reassure everyone that DIWC is not the only organisation affected by this situation. Other valuable local charities, including ADHD Dundee & Angus Support Group and Showcase the Street, are also currently impacted.

At present we are awaiting a further update from our landlord regarding next steps and timescales.

Please be assured that many of our classes and services are still continuing from different locations across Dundee thanks to the incredible support and kindness of other local organisations who have stepped in to help us during this difficult time.

A huge thank you to:

  • Dundee Women’s HUB
  • WRASAC Dundee & Angus
  • Fleming Gardens Sheltered Housing Complex
  • Boomerang
  • One Parent Families Scotland
  • IYN Maryfield
  • Stobswell Forum
  • HELM

Without these organisations generously providing space for us, continuing services would not have been possible.

1:1 support remains available. If you require support, please contact:

support@diwc.co.uk

01382 462058

We truly hope to be back in our centre very soon and will continue to keep everyone updated as soon as we receive further information.

If any organisations or community groups have available office space or rooms suitable for classes or support sessions, please get in touch with us at: mail@diwc.co.uk

Thank you to everyone for your patience, support and kindness during this challenging time.
