<strong>2010</strong> Annual Report

The Women’s <strong>Centre</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Calgary</strong> is a unique, street-front<br />
organization that provides a variety <strong>of</strong> services and<br />
opportunities to <strong>the</strong> women <strong>of</strong> <strong>Calgary</strong>.<br />

communities supporting women.<br />
The Women’s <strong>Centre</strong> is a safe place for women to:<br />
• get assistance<br />
• connect with o<strong>the</strong>rs<br />
• work for change
Fostering change and inclusion<br />
In <strong>2010</strong> we responded to more than 62,000 contacts. That’s double <strong>the</strong> number three years<br />
ago. As a result, growth management continues to be a major issue.<br />
To ensure we were not overwhelmed by basic needs demand, we made a number <strong>of</strong> changes.<br />
We reorganized our staff team so that we have leads on each <strong>of</strong> our three core areas <strong>of</strong> work:<br />
assisting with basic needs, building social inclusion and addressing social issues. We changed<br />
staff hours to ensure all staff have time for learning, increased training to build <strong>the</strong> depth <strong>of</strong><br />
women’s issues knowledge among volunteers, and worked to foster an environment for change.<br />
With funding from <strong>the</strong> <strong>Calgary</strong> Foundation we are building skills around public policy. Project<br />
funding from United Way will enable us to continue our work to create change over <strong>the</strong> next<br />
three years.<br />
The Board <strong>of</strong> Directors focused on growth and ensuring sustainability. Goals were set at <strong>the</strong><br />
annual board planning retreat and leads on resources, people and community will direct work<br />
in 2011.<br />
<strong>2010</strong> was a very successful year thanks to<br />
<strong>the</strong> hard work <strong>of</strong> staff and 434 volunteers.<br />
With City <strong>of</strong> <strong>Calgary</strong>, FCSS funding we were able to hire a consultant to evaluate our way <strong>of</strong><br />
work and social inclusion. The evaluation found that “<strong>the</strong>re is a reciprocal and interconnected<br />
relationship between <strong>the</strong> community capacity building peer model at <strong>the</strong> Women’s <strong>Centre</strong> and<br />
social inclusion . . . At times it is difficult to discern which begets which. However, what is<br />
fundamental to <strong>the</strong>m both is recognizing that <strong>the</strong>y are integral to one ano<strong>the</strong>r and toge<strong>the</strong>r<br />
create deep and far reaching positive impacts for all women involved with <strong>the</strong> Women’s<br />
<strong>Centre</strong>.”<br />
Best practices which were identified included:<br />
•Empathy<br />
•Reciprocity<br />
•Active diversity work and non-judgmental practice<br />
•Leadership and non-hierarchical culture<br />
•Staff and volunteer competency: critical thinking and reflective practice<br />
•Open-space physical layout <strong>of</strong> organization<br />
•Open and accessible operational structure<br />
•Immediate response and contextual support<br />
•Women’s only space<br />
Funding from United Way <strong>of</strong> <strong>Calgary</strong> will enable us to continue our evaluation in 2011 with<br />
an assessment <strong>of</strong> our work in <strong>the</strong> areas <strong>of</strong> basic needs and social issues.<br />
<strong>2010</strong> was a very successful year thanks to <strong>the</strong> hard work <strong>of</strong> staff and 434 volunteers. It was<br />

Testimonials<br />
In <strong>the</strong> <strong>2010</strong> outcome evaluation surveys, women included comments such as:<br />
“It is critical to have a place in our community that picks up people who fall through <strong>the</strong><br />
cracks”.<br />
“So far <strong>the</strong> Women’s <strong>Centre</strong> has helped me with food and o<strong>the</strong>r items and with<br />
information. It’s helped make a difference by making life a little easier because I currently<br />
have no home or income at <strong>the</strong> moment and it gives me a place to go, think, and get stuff<br />
arranged.”<br />
“Coming to <strong>the</strong> Women’s <strong>Centre</strong> decreased my sense <strong>of</strong> isolation. It gave me a place to meet<br />
people and also helped me in job searching and finding o<strong>the</strong>r resources.”<br />
“The staff and <strong>the</strong> volunteers have <strong>the</strong> patience to help with almost any situation <strong>the</strong>y can.<br />
They sit and listen and try to help things get better.”<br />
“I love meeting <strong>the</strong> ladies that come from all walks <strong>of</strong> life. I get good laughs and comfort.”<br />
“The Women’s <strong>Centre</strong> has been a place <strong>of</strong> great support to my family as we are settling in as<br />
new immigrants. There is always someone to talk to and ask questions.”<br />
“I believe <strong>the</strong> Women’s <strong>Centre</strong> makes people better people. It helps women to gain confidence<br />
within <strong>the</strong>m which enables <strong>the</strong>m to do better and greater things, including helping o<strong>the</strong>rs out<br />
and being more involved. This in turn helps <strong>the</strong> community out very much.”<br />
“The Women’s <strong>Centre</strong> has helped keep my kids from starving as I have gotten food bank<br />
referrals here.”<br />
“I really like <strong>the</strong> Women’s <strong>Centre</strong> peer model. It is so great to see people feeling<br />
empowered to help <strong>the</strong>mselves and to see <strong>the</strong> sense <strong>of</strong> community and friendship at <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>Centre</strong>. It is a really great dynamic. It is a very positive, supportive atmosphere.”<br />
“The Women’s <strong>Centre</strong> gave me support in my life. They help people.”
