While the primary function of Greenway Women's Group is to break down the barriers which prevent the full participation of women in today's society, particularly targeting those who are socially isolated, another of our functions is to encourage the development of, and whenever possible provide space for, a wide range of supportive groups and organisations.

Over the years Greenway has built up strong working relationships with many such groups and organisations.

Greenway Older Women's Group

Greenway Older Women's Group are a separately constituted group, whose members have been using the Greenway building since before the current Greenway Women's Group was formed in 1985. They were members of the original Residents' Asscociation and have been involved in the local community for over fifty years.

Greenway Older Women's Group are a fiercely independent group of women whose self-reliance and determination is renowned throughout the Centre. Having survived both the Blitz and the Troubles, they remain both resilient and innovative and are an example to us all.

It has been a delight and an honour for all those linked to Greenway to have shared in both the good and bad times of the Older Women's Group over the years.

Castlereagh Fellowship Church

Castlereagh Fellowship Church has assisted Greenway Women's Group over the years in the ongoing efforts to maintain the Greenway building. Its members have donated both their time and their equipment to sustaining the shared space and this has been very much valued and appreciated.

Castlereagh Fellowship Church, while supportive of the work of Greenway Women's Group, is a completely independent organisation with a separate ethos and different operational hours from those of Greenway Women's Centre.

These examples demonstrate how groups and organisations with differing ideologies can work together to sustain a shared space in order to provide support and guidance to those in need.
