2009 Annual Report The Women’s Centre responded to a staggering 32% increase in contacts in 2009. We had more than 54,000 contacts,125 women in the Centre and another 90 phone calls each day. We provided more basic needs and made more referrals and advocacy calls. We had more women drop in for conversation and coffee, to use the comput- ers and office equipment, or to attend a workshop or legal advice clinic. We also initiated a project to provide women the op- portunity to increase their skills around public policy development and to build a poverty reduction plan which considers women’s particular needs. 2009 was an exciting, often chaotic year, which threatened to take us to the tipping point. In order to manage the growth we increased evening staff hours, recruited more volunteers, put in more electrical lines so we could rearrange our space and improve the traffic flow, provided staff with safety and crisis management training and, unfortunately, drastically decreased our outreach and provision of off-site programs.

2009 Annual Report

The Women’s Centre responded to a staggering 32% increase in contacts in 2009. We had more than 54,000 contacts,125 women in the Centre and another 90 phone calls each day. We provided more basic needs and made more referrals and advocacy calls. We had more women drop in for conversation and coffee, to use the comput-ers and office equipment, or to attend a workshop or legal advice clinic. We also initiated a project to provide women the op-portunity to increase their skills around public policy development and to build a poverty reduction plan which considers women’s particular needs. 2009 was an exciting, often chaotic year, which threatened to take us to the tipping point. In order to manage the growth we increased evening staff hours, recruited more volunteers, put in more electrical lines so we could rearrange our space and improve the traffic flow, provided staff with safety and crisis management

training and, unfortunately, drastically decreased our outreach and provision of off-site programs. At the annual planning retreat the Board of Direc-tors focused on the re-sources, including finances, required to offer both core and proactive programs; on Women’s Centre com-munity connections and social issues; and on the people involved, staff, vol-unteers and those who use the Centre. They identified the need for a sustainabil-ity plan. Funding, human resource issues and growth were all identified as ongo-ing issues to be addressed. With incredible support from volunteers, community supporters and partners we were able to meet the escalating need while still maintaining excellent out-comes. •98% of women using the Centre reported they felt safe at the Women’s Centre •96% said they felt like they were getting more support. •93% said they had learned something new at the Centre. • 83% said they had

increased their community involvement. • 87% said they learned more about women’s issues. • 98% said they appre-ciated being part of the diverse community at the Women’s Centre. • 420 great volunteers provided 11,945 hours In 2010 our numbers have continued to grow. In the first quarter we have experienced another 21% increase over the first quar-ter of last year. Despite the busyness, we continue to work to meet our goals. So while we help to meet daily basic needs, we are working on public policy to address root causes of poverty. And while building a sup-portive, diverse community within the Women’s Centre, we are working to connect to the larger community and address women’s issues. We do so with the gener-ous support of our core funders; the City of Calgary Family and Community Support Services and the United Way of Calgary and Area. We look forward to an exciting 2010.
