Resolutions

Working together to ensure our resolutions are brought to change makers across the UK.

At NCW, we know we’re strongest together and that no lasting change is ever made in isolation. That’s why we meet every year to decide which resolutions our campaigns will focus on over the next twelve months.

During resolution discussion, members bring forward their key areas for concern with policies affecting the lives of women. These cover a wide range of issues, from how local housing associations respond to the needs of women, through to championing gender parity in all levels of decision making in Government.

These resolutions are added to our priority areas of work; helping us create relevant campaigns and collaborations to address the issues. You can find information about previous resolutions below and if you would like to raise an issue for consideration, please contact us on info@ncwgb.org.

Together, we can make a positive difference for all.
